Convenience
With the BMW 540 you will definitely be making fewer stops at the gas station than with the Mercedes-Benz AMG CLA 45, due to its larger tank size and better fuel economy.
Cost

The BMW 540 is a little wider than the Mercedes-Benz AMG CLA 45, so getting in and out of the car in a crowded parking lot may be a little more of a squeeze.
If you go with the BMW 540, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Mercedes-Benz AMG CLA 45.
