Luckily they said this was covered under warranty which I was surprised because I bought this car thinking the warranty was up, warranty is good for about another two months. He also said the front wheels were slightly bent which could cause vibration although I haven't noticed anything while driving. Anyways I just dropped the car off tonight and the issues are getting fixed tomorrow.
I thought I saw where the valve gasket problem was kind of common in this car. This car has about 22k miles

See if you can get the service history especially on the DCT leak. My Z4 was fixed before I bought it for a mechatronics leak. I found that it was leaking shortly after I bought and BMW tried to fix it but it still leaked. I went back to BMW with the same problem again and the replaced the entire DCT because they could not fix the leak.
