There are videos on YouTube, search on "removing COMAND", that show you how to remove the console. The CC is attached to the console trim, you need to unscrew it off of there. Here's a picture of the back of my center console trim with the CC attached (big smooth black box towards the left):

Well, motion pictures can sometimes make things more clear.

Is that a spoiler on your CL??

yep
carbon then repainted, to avoid it to be stolen
I wouldn't do it again as small spoilers are useless before 250
I can feel it when over 300 but also lowers top speed about 8 km/h
