Greetings,
could anybody who has seen and touched the enigma that is the mighty CLA how it sizes up to a BMW 3 series - my company car choice is many and varied but i am split between the CLA220d and a BMW330d - have a 320d currently - love the car / hate BMW Customer Care? the sheer arrogance of the buggers, rude and utterly lost in their own obsessed world that we are queuing up to buy - I would so like to move to MB either CLA or new E class but I am a big guy who needs space and the 3 series does fit like the preverbial glove....

Hey Gary, wish I could help you. I haven't seen it in person. Here are a couple threads that discuss size though.

Gary, the answer really depends if your BMW is the current 3 series (F90) or the previous 3 series (E90 was before 2012). Because BMW made the 3 series bigger when they introduced the F90. The CLA is closer in size to the earlier E90. But it still is a little narrower than the E90. Below are dimensions of the CLA verses BMW E90:
