How popular do you want to be with your BMW friends?
McMaster-Carr will sell you a pack of 25 aluminum M16 crush washers (16.19 mm ID; 19.84 mm OD) for about twelve bucks plus shipping. That should last you (and your friends) a few oil changes. Prefer copper? They have those, too. But the copper crush washers only come in packs of 10 for about the same price.

I think it is OK to reuse one if you have no alternative - a used one is better than leaving one out. But the real benefit to using a new one each time is that you can feel the crush washer crushing as the plug goes tight. This makes it easy to get the plug neither too loose nor too tight. Too tight of course risks stripped threads. You cant feel it crush - it just gets what seems to be tight. Sometimes it actually is. Too loose - which I have seen happen to a few people over the years after reusing crush washers means you usually get to ride your rear wheel through your own oil slick. Neither too loose nor too tight is a good idea.
