Just get some miles on the engine and then get it to work.

I have driven a newish 530d and never found any real issues with the ability to get on the move, even in D. I also have driven the same combination in a 530d with a decent mileage (over 5k), and that was even better, plenty of shove, and the 'box was where you wanted it, D was fine for normal overtaking and the 'box responded as I'd expect, for rapid acceleration.

I can only imagine a well run-in 535d will be superb, even from modest revs.
