BMW recommends having your 2003 BMW 540i’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your 540i in the above table. Outside of BMW-recommended oil change intervals, your 540i may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, smell oil inside the car, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust.

Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your BMW 540i. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.
