Just calculate if it is worth the extra 700€ or so every month.
My 520D have lost 17000€ if I trade it in today for a new car, that is in 11 months and 28000km. A 535D would probably double that.
If you take the 535D, you will notice what a great 6 cylinder engine it is, before my 535D, i had a 335D, again the engine was smooth, powerfull and quiet.

If you are worried about depreciation, why even consider a 520D if you are paying for the car yourself. 80% of BMW sales for the F10/11 are for 520D, so why would you expect this model to hold any value? Look at any BMW dealer they always have them to sell.
