My dealer didn't even carry them, they are included with a new valve cover and so is the gasket.
None of my bolts where painted "blue" wich indicated a replacement bolt except the ones holding the wire holder oddly enough.

me: Hi jason, can you help me out, why is the 335i Valve cover gasket set so freakin expensive? what are the part#'s included in the packaging

Jason: here are the part #'s we include in our kit:
11127544369 bolts x 26
11127565286 gasket
11127548063 bolts x 3
and 11127556977 bolts x 2
me: o.O it's just odd that bolts cost that much cause the gasket itself is like 30 bucks
Jason: yeah

unfortunately, that's wha tyou're going to need
to change the gasket
me: is it a requirement to replace the bolts
Jason: yes
otherwise, you'll be doing the gasket again soon
