what oil to in my '13 650i n63tu 36k

My prepaid maintenance is about to expire so I'm wondering if from now on should I look for a better grade of oil and have the dealership use that for my next oil change or stick to what they use out of their bulk tank? I will be doing my oil changes every 6mo. or 7500mi and put my car away in a heated storage for the winter if that helps thx ahead

So here is a quote from the 2013 "Service & Warranty Information" booklet.

"BMW recommends that you check your engine
oil level whenever you add fuel to your vehicle. If
you need to add oil between oil changes and
BMW High Performance Synthetic Oil is
unavailable, you may top up the oil level with one
of the following approved synthetic oils. For
information on checking your engine oil level,
refer to your vehicle’s Owner’s Manual.
The synthetic oils listed below meet BMW’s
Long-life rating LL-01:

. Castrol Syntec European Formula SAE 0W-30

. Mobil 1 SAE 0W-40

. Pennzoil Platinum European Formula Ultra
SAE 5W-30

. Valvoline SynPower SAE 5W-30"

I will be using Mobil 1 SAE 0W-40 after the last warranty oil change.

on my repair order the dealer says they put 5w30 under warranty so 5w40 will be safe in hot climate and some hard driving every once in a while? thanx for your input!

40 is thicker and for hard-driving is what most guys with tune as well are running
