What's your reasoning for a this trade.

If you want more speed than maybe the BMW 330/IS350/C350.

Don't think the Mercedes are that much bigger than the IS250.

I would keep the IS250 if I were you.

The C300 does not get good gas mileage for the amount of power its putting out.

Both are solid rides. If the driving dynamics is more important, I would pick the C300 over the IS250, but if ride comfort, interior layout, fuel efficiency and overall reliability are more to your like, keep the IS. Me personally, I would opt for a 3 series, new A4, or new G37 sedan.
