To my mind you are comparing apples with oranges. I like my 535i, and it does the job it was designed to do (comfortable, quiet, sophisticated) really well.

If I were you I'd get a 520d for at least a whole day, and drive it a lot. My local dealer was completely fine with whole-day / whole-weekend test drives.

Same here.... love the 535i for what it is. The test drive is the only way, as only the OP knows what he wants from a car. The right specification 3-series may be more appropriate, if a more sporty drive is wanted.
I test drove a 520d and it just didn't do anything for me, would have got me looking at other marques, if I hadn't known a decent spec'd 530d/535i offered so much more.
