the 535i has a motor that has been known for unreliability. to me, it was a 2006-2007 version of the 530i or a 550i. so if you're dead set on only considering the 535i or a MB, i would go with the MB. side note, C class is real small. more comparable to a bimmer 3 series than a 5 series. the E series of MB is closer in comparison to the bimmer 5 series. just fyi.
Unreliability? Nonsense. There is nothing wrong with the 535i's engine. I had the same engine in my 07 335i and it ran flawless 3 years. The HPFP has been an issue on some cars both 335i and 535i but does not in fact brand the motor unreliable. As others have stated the E series would be close to the 5 series but the C300-C350 not even close.
