My first case of rough idle was a crack in the intake boot that would open up when I made a turn. The second case was a bad sparkplug coil and the third case of rough idle was a bad DISA valve. I'd be surprised if a sticking VANOS would be the issue considering your oil change habits. I've never had a VANOS problem and I stayed with the BMW Castrol and 7500-8000 mile change intervals.
