Hi Bazz. I made the change from the F10 520d to 430d GC about 2.5 years ago.

Overall, I’m glad I did and prefer the 430d mainly for the handling the performance which are marked improvements on the 520d.

I would agree with the commentary above that it comes down to personal choices, and the 520d definitely has some advantages, particularly if you carry adults in the rear seats regularly.

Good luck with the decision and the hunt.
