BMW recommends having your 2015 BMW M235i’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above.

Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your BMW M235i. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.
