Question, and I really don't mean for you to take any offense to this- Are C63's and M3's really had to come by in Singapore? Or is insurance very expensive over there?
It seems like between your C350 and 335 you put a lot of money into them, why not just start with a C63 and M3 in the first place?
Maybe it's just your personal preference? I'm really interested...

2 years ago, I wanted a roomier convertible and so I bought the 2-door E93 335 which was just launched then in 2007 (E93 M3 still not available). I kept my 4 door family sedan (Lexus gs300) as I needed 2 cars.
Then I got itchy and got bored with the Lexus as it was too quiet
and not much modding potential. As I am keeping the 335, I do not want to spend ~US$100,000 more for a C63 and decide to go for the C350 instead.

Are the ///M and AMG models something that the dealership would tend not to keep in inventory over there, causing each one to be ordered ahead of time?

C350
I think that here in the US we have the cheapest prices, Although we don't have the choice of options other country's have it's still the cheapest. 
A friend of mine just got a C350 in Portugal with the same options as mine and paid $120.000 US for it

Wow, that's incredible! Are those type of fees proportional to what you paid for your C350? Or do the high-demand sports cars get additional fees/taxes tacked on?

Most of the higher cc models will have an indent period of ~4months as they do not tend to keep stock.
