I've had a '16 535d xdrive since September and my mileage pretty much coincides with the numbers stated in the previous posting. In fact, at highway speeds under 75 mph, I am getting between 38 and 39 mpg. City driving is over 34 (but that's mostly suburban driving).
As for performance, the numbers favors the 535i, but the difference might be hard to detect when comparing low-end torque. This is my third diesel and I would not go back to a gasoline engine anytime soon.
Finding a 535d was not easy. Relatively few on Autotrader and even fewer with low mileage and the options I was looking for. Looked for almost seven months before finding one meeting most of my requirements.
Good luck on your search and I believe you'll like the vehicle.
