its not exactly comapring apples with apples.
If you can afford to go for teh 535d with all the extras, then do so.
Its never going to make any financial sense (what car does?!)
Perhaps if you pondering over it because of the high cost, perhaps its worth speccing up to the hilt but hanging on to the car for a good number of years.
This is what I have done, my last E39 530i msport I had for 10 years , highly specced so never regretted it.
My F10 530d is highly specced up so it wasn't cheap but I intend to keep it for a simialr amount of time, if you work out teh depereciation over a longer amount of time, its not so bad.
Just might be worth thinking from that angle?

I've drivenm the 520d (the 525d is pretty much the same engine if you're talking about teh 4 cylinder one) and teh 530d and I thought the 6 cylinder was so much better so in my opinion ,I'd go for the 530d or 535d.
