E60 looks waaay better if u ask me. The cls shines a bit from a side point a view but if you get too far it seems like a banana. You don't know where it starts and where it ends...

The E60 looks much better. Before buying my 530 E60 I was considering the CLS 350 because back then I thought that the CLS was a better looking car. I test drove the CLS and if you compare them, the CLS feels like a lorry and the E60 feels as a Lotus Elise . Today I think the E60 looks much better. I choose the correct car.

CLS is the better looking. If you asked this question outside of a BMW E60 forum I'd suspect a significant margin favoring the CLS.

Topic. Thanks
I test drove the CLS 500 trying to determine if I wanted a 550 or the MB. I decided to go with the 500i because the interior of the CLS 500 made me fell I needed to duck down to see the road and other cars. It was very uncomfortable. Yes the car looks slick on the exterior but I feel for people tha are driving it on a dailey bases. I think BMW 550i/M5is the ultimate Driving Machine.
