Yes, Chuck has some (usually).   They are made by Powerbuilt, which is the 
in-store brand of tools sold at CSK Auto (Checker, Shucks, Kragen).

They sell a drain plug tool for BMW, VW, Porsche that is a 17mm allen size.   


Powerbuilt Tools, part number #648438.

However, I've found that they are not normally carried on the shelf in areas 
where there isn't a fairly high density of BMWs, VWs and Porsches.   They used 
to be available in my town, but last time I looked, they were no longer 
stocked.   You can buy them directly from the manufacturer however:

Their online store isn't set up to sell them however, so you'd have to phone 
them.

Chances are good Chuck might sell them cheaper anyway!
