Thanks, looked at both videos. What about air-cond vents on the b-pillar? Are they there?

 

[macdaque]

OK I checked - the rear b-pillar air-conditioning vents on both sides available on the 535i, but not on the 523i. This feature probably part of the rear climate control which comes with the 535i. What a sad disappointment!

in terms of specs with the e-class. how does the 523i and e250(or e200 whichever is more suitable) compare?

This compares the 535 with the e350. the 523i is not available in most countries, and therefore comparisons are going to be rare. Since the 523i is rather high-spec'd in M'sia, I suspect that from most respects the comparison results would also apply.
