Factory recommended pressures for a 535 xDrive (with 20" tires) are 36psi and 44psi (front/rear) for tires specified with 95Y XL / 97Y XL load ratings (front/rear). Generally it is recommended that you start with the factory settings and adjust from there. If your tires load ratings are higher than the factory tires, you can generally adjust your pressures down a bit, if your tires load ratings are lower than the factory tires, you should generally adjust your pressures up a bit.

Experiment a bit and see if you can find a pressure that feels good to you. Many people experience a huge ride quality difference by changing pressures a few psi. I would say keep within 5psi of the factory recommendations, and remember to never exceed the maximum pressure listed on the sidewall of your tire.
