Interesting that the cls followed the interior rather closely to the E until this iPad ... It'll be interesting to see if the new E interior makes its way into the cls ... In which case the iPad goes away?

Liked them both for different reasons

Good thread idea.

I owned a 6 series BMW before. In my opinion, when you take a mid-large size four door and give it coupe-like styling, It becomes even bigger on the outside, and smaller on the inside.

I think the e63s is goldilocks size: not too big, not to small. I also like visibility and driving position.

Yes
Price, honestly. The CLS lease terms/pricing just makes it less of a deal and makes me just want to go all the way and fork over RS7 $ which I don't think is worth it. Otherwise, CLS all day long. The E is just too good of a deal for what you get.

The BMW Gran Coupe is my pic of the lookers, but doesn't have the comfy 3 across the back that our E63 has.

With the CLS63 the grancoupe m6 was another contender. The E63 seemed to be more comfortable driving which I was looking for. Maybe it was the seating position and clearer visibility. The 3 row seating was necessary for family.

I loved my 14' CLS63 and would still be driving it if I didn't need the extra space in the back. Unfortunately, the beautiful styling of the CLS comes with a major caveat, less room

The CLS63S wagon is pretty roomy in both the rear seat and the luggage compartment.

The CLS probably would of sold more if it wasn't for the 2 seater vs 3 in the rear. Also no panoramic sunroof really sucked. Otherwise I would jump to a CLS without a heart beat.

I believe my coworker's 2012 CLS 63 does have a panoramic roof. Are you saying you didn't want one?

No CLS has pano roof, only standard sunroof. Some CLS owners wrap their roofs for pano "look" (or illusion).
