If you've had your car serviced at the dealer they should have been using BMW-branded 5W-30 synthetic.
I would suggest sticking with synthetic oil, and using one that meets the BMW specification for your car, BMW LL (long Life) -01. If the oil meets the spec, it'll be listed on the label. Some that I know of that do (apart from BMW's own oil):
Castrol Syntec 0W-30
Mobil 1 0W-40 European Car Formula
(Mobil 1 ESP 5W-30 meets the later BMW LL-04, and could also be used)
Valvoline's website recommends their Synpower brand for your car, rather than the Max Life. Check the 5W-30 MST and 5W-40 labels for one that meets BMW LL-01.

Did you use synthetic oil in April when you changed it? If so, there is no need to change the oil again. I rarely drive my 2004 7 series, and I change my oil twice a year - I use Mobil 1 synthetic oil. You can switch to synthetic oil, if you haven`t already, and stick to it. It costs a little more, but your BMW motor will last you that much longer! Good luck
