cylinder head cover out of stock

I'm having absolutely no luck with my 2018 B58 Gen1 F21 M140i !
After finding the air leak I had at the intake manifold, now the internal PCV system (not the external one with the diaphragm) in the valve cover has completely seized up. I have a whirring noise (like a teapot) due to the external diaphragm no longer regulating properly, which causes smoke on startup. I also have a cyclical hissing noise at idle, a problem maintaining a stable idle, an inability to measure the oil level via iDrive, and finally, the car hesitates at 1000/1200 RPM! AND THE BEST PART IS THAT THIS HAPPENS WHEN THEY'RE NO MORE VALVE COVERS COMING OUT OF THE BMW FACTORY! The BMW dealerships in my entire region don't even have a likely delivery date, and they already have a huge number of backorders (1900) for this part! If anyone could point me in the right direction and help me find an original BMW OEM 11 12 7 645 173, I'd be very grateful! Please help me, community!
