BMW engine probs. NEED HELP, PLEASE.

Thank you for looking. Its a pretty long read but would really apreciate some opinions. Heres a few details to this VERY STRANGE PROBLEM.

Model- bmw 528
year-2000
KM- 100,000
owned car for 3 years, never a problem.

Just finished driving cross country saturday last week (3,900KM) not a single problem. Car does not burn a drop of oil .

Heres where the problems start. Start the car up monday after being parked a few days to run into town and grab a couple of things.... after driving 5 miles I come to a stop light. Smoke from oil hiting the manifolds ( later found that oil burst out of the valve cover only on passenger side) poors into the cabin.

I keep the car running just to get the car out of the traffic. Car still running fine, I shut it off. I look around in the engine bay, other than oil on the exhaust everything looks fine. I let it cool, later start it up... runs perfect at idle then the motor hydro locks ( later after taken spark plugs out, the cylinders are full of oil )

Things I have checked-

1- coolant level is still perfect and there was no coolant in cylinders so its not the head gasket.every cylinder had a bunch of oil in it #6 had the most.

2- all camshafts ect.. under valve cover look perfect.

3- compression ( after I clean oil out of cylinders ) was a even 180psi.

4- No oil in the intake

WHAT THE HECKS UP

HOW DID THE OIL GET IN THE CYLINDERS
