Both are equally good cars nonetheless. Inside the 520d is pretty quiet but i can still hear the low sound of the diesel engine, especially when you go on slow in traffic jams.  Once you step out, or when i hear the car salesman driving off the 520d, it does not sound like BMW at all. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite3" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":(" />  I'm currently driving an E39 523 and i am not sure if i can ever get used to that diesel sound.  Strangely the 520d is selling better compared to the 523.  Most 2011 stocks for 520d is almost gone while there are still plenty of 523.  The price of 520d is simply too good to dismiss the car and the torque is really out of my expectations.   Need to decide soon.  Help!
