MotorTrend did a side by side by side comparison of the Lexus ISF, BMW M3, and the MB C63 (all '08 models) some of the numbers are as follows...


1/4 Mile:
IS F: 12.7 @113.4
M3: 12.7 @111.3
C63: 12.5 @113.5

0-60:
IS F: 4.3
M3: 4.3
C63: 4.3

Hp/Tq
IS F: 416/371
M3: 414/295
C63: 451/443

Bottom line is...all quick. Motor trend gave the comaprison victory to the M3 on overall, but I'm personally a fan of the C63... besides, the C63 hangs in there with the best and has almost 400 more lbs than the M3 (4004/3652)

Just my educated $.02
