In BMW equivalence (although BMW copied Mercedes in this respect), the CLS is the 6 Gran Coupé, the CL is the ordinary coupé.

There is no BMW Equivalent to the CL the CLS is the equivalent to a 6 Grand Coupe BMW don't make a 7 Series Coupe yet which is what the CL is, the newer Version of this is the S Coupe.

As I see it.

CLS = 6 series gc.
e class coupe = 6 series coupe.
CL= no bmw equivalent.

Just to bring some closure to this thread, last week I bought a Panamera Turbo. I had to up the budget a bit, and I fully appreciate they are widely disliked (usually by people who haven't been in one / driven one) but it is one of the most competent cars I have come across. Its roomy inside (and outside!) fast as hell and is very nice to drive and sit in. Here are some gratuitous photos I took at the weekend. Thanks to everybody who contributed / gave me advice

I also plasti-dipped the rear badges black so that it doesn't stand out as much. I think I'll remove the Porsche lettering, as I want to make it 'blend in' as much as possible for use for work (as much as a big black 4 door Porsche CAN blend in...)

Haha thanks. A week into ownership and it's not been keyed yet, so I think I'll be alright! It definitely draws less attention than the Jaguar did, and people don't notice it as much. When it's parked up in a line of cars you don't notice it, whereas the Jaguars shape made it stand out like a sore thumb.

To someone who doesn't know about cars I have convinced myself that they will see it as being no different to this




See..? Barely any difference.

Good choice Sir! Any chance of some pictures of the interior?

How about a Maserati GranTurismo?

Thanks. I haven't got any handy but will willingly oblige this weekend. It's a really nice place to be and very comfy.

Keep up at the back! Thread already resolved - see above. I did consider the Maserati, but the interior felt dated and the rear end hasn't aged well in my opinion. The front looks great and it sounds amazing though.
