Lexus IS F or MB C63

I'm looking to buy one of these soon. They are priced similarly, but the C63 is harder to find. Which one would you get?

I would go for the M3 IMHO. While the C63 has more power, it is an uncontrolable beast on the corners. Just look up Top Gear and Fifth Gear reviews of them. The M3 is an overall better vechicle. But, out of the two, I would go C63. The IS-F is too blinged up for my taste.

Lexus long term will be more reliable and cheaper to maintain.

I really like the new C-Class but the interior looks hideous. I am not a huge fan of the IS either, it looks cheap to me for some reason.

I've always been a fan of the M3.
