Mercedes CLS or BMW 6 Series?

I want to buy a low mileage (up to 40,000 miles) premium car. I have £14,000 to spend and drive about 25,000 a year. I was looking at either the Mercedes CLS or a BMW 6 Series. What would you advise?

I'd go for a CLS 320CDI. Not the sportiest handler, but a great look, and you might need those back doors some time.

Big CO2 reductions. Four-cylinder CLS 250 CDI available at last. Precisely-built interior. Retains unique style of original CLS. Comes with full LED headlights.
Sleek looks and more handsome than previous 6 Series. Powerful yet economical 640d has an epic engine. Amazingly refined.
