its factory. MB started it a few years back, maybe cadillac caught on. it is a blue dye used in the glass to polorize the glass. there are tints out there to mimic the MB blue glass. maybe this is what you saw on the caddy

CLS 500 is a Mercedes Benz, not a Caddy

I liked the blue on my CLS. In fact, it was the only vehicle I have ever owned which I didn't tint.
