BMW would know the correct procedure for oil changes, a new crush washer is generally advised and some manufacturers state new washer and sump plug at every change.
A sump washer tightened properly shouldn't come undone, but proving error months ago will be difficult.
Now the oil has been changed I'd run the car for a few hundred miles and if there are no disastrous events have some oil drained to look for metal swarf.I did this on mine when I bought it as it had a lots of miles on it. Luckily no obvious sign of bearing wear as it would have shown a spike in one of the metals that are used in bearing manufacturing.If you find a spike, time to offload to WBAC. Easier than getting a settlement out of Halfords.1
