I would have started my own thread, but I'm not allowed, so I figured that since this one was resolved, I wouldn't be hijacking.
sammk, I love your Kat. I have one too.

Not sure how exactly to pinpoint. To add to your list of possible causes, I've read that some people had leaking PCV pipes or other hoses, leaking valve gasket, oil-soaked eccentric shaft sensor, oil change gone wrong - oil cap wasn't torqued down properly, or seals cracked/not replaced, or lower quality oil (my nearest bmw dealership uses cheap, non LL01 oil!).
