Yes, it's a silver grey with a bluish hue to it.

^^^I havent driven the cls63, only the 55...but...from what I got, even though the m6 doesnt feel faster for the majority of its rev range than the cls anywhere, the m6 feels surprisingly faster after 5.8k...its really an awesome feeling. Where the CLS felt like it slapped you with torque from the getgo in the face, the M5/6 power sensation builds like...well...an orgasm for lack of a more descriptive term. The agility of the M is worlds above the cls and rather than feeling as heavy as the cls does, it feels more akin to a car atleast 500 lbs lighter. The transmission is obv not nearly as smooth as the merc in auto mode...so if youre a "smooth operator" and like to just roll along, you wont like it...but seeing as how you have an atom...me thinks you like a more involving drive. The m's gearbox is really sweet and the 7speed is a ton of fun and geared pretty closely for this kind of car. The fit and finish may not quite be the cls'...but its pretty damn good!
EDIT...the ride of the m5 is quite smooth...but I think its a bit less compliant than the cls in the comfort setting...
