BMW recommends having your 1988 BMW 535i’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table.

More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your BMW 535i. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.
