Theres often not that much difference in size, but that does make all the difference, here is some details to ponder:

6er GC
Length = 197.125
WB = 116.850
Wide = 74.5669
Hi = 54.80
Track FR = 62.99
Rear = 65.55

5er F10
Length = 192.874
Wide = 73.22
WB = 116.850
Hi = 57.6377


7er F01 (non Li)
Length =199.685
WB = 120.86
Wide = 74.88 / w/mirr= 84.01
Track = 64.96


CLS
WB =113.2
Length =194.5
Wide/mir= 81.7 (estimate wide at 72)

tech specs taken from official sites for BM and MB, cls only lists dimensions for width inclusive of mirrors, so i looked at 7er with mirrors for general comparison, and they are about 10" total for both sides, so subtracted 10" from the cls width to come to est of 72

my point originally was the the 6er GC is closer to the 7er in size than the 5er, and that the CLS is closer to the 5er than the 7er, therefore...GC is a bigger car...
