On my E90, I've done all the gaskets in the N52 that eventually leak. For the valve cover and oil pan gaskets, I used original BMW gaskets along with a thin coat of Permatex Ultra Black gasket sealer on both sides of the gasket. Both are leak free 3 years and 100,000 miles later. For the profile gasket in the oil filter housing, I just used the original BMW gasket with no gasket sealer.

A manual transmission can be set to "comfort", "sport", and "track" modes simply by the technique and speed at which you shift it; it doesn't need "modes", modes are for manumatics that try to behave like a real 3-pedal manual transmission. If you can money-shift it, it's a manual transmission. "Yeah, but NO ONE puts an automatic trans shift knob on a manual transmission."
