LAST YEAR’S VISIT TO THE NÜRBURGRING (see evo 307) allowed the C63 to show just how much it has to offer, so more of the same was always on the cards for 2023. Hence why this month I found myself back at the Eurotunnel for another trip to the Eifel region, this time in a group whose cars included a BMW Z4 M, an E92 M3 Competition and, just to make a mockery of our fuel consumption, a Volkswagen Up GTI.
Another smooth Le Shuttle crossing complete, we hit the French autoroute then briefly tolerated Belgium’s corrugated roads before a fueltax reduction on petrol prices in Germany, making the fuel bill less alarming than I’d imagined. This time, though, ordinary prices had returned – one of many fuel stops had 98 RON at an eye-watering €2.40 per litre (around £2.05).
