You can expect the BMW purists to throw their hand in the air and protest loudly BUT I would put gasket cement on both sides of the new gasket and install it. Given the nature of the rubbish BMW OE gaskets it cannot do much harm. When you consider the oil pan has the front diff and driveshafts to contend with you would think the powers that be would have come up with a super gasket design to cope with the extra stresses involved.
But then that is only MHO
