I think it is oil vapour from the PCV or oil separator that enters into the intake system and then ends up on the valves. I just removed the intake manifold from the BMW e60 (not direct inj) and was surprised how much oil film was in there, it uses a oil separator and they often fail. The intake valves looked fairly clean probably from the fuel constantly washing them.
