then, what did Volvo do with the M3? Did an officer take it over an S60R???

And what is MB going to do with that M6?

Yeah Volvo do buy cars from their competitors. One of my friends was with his at Volvo and in one of their buildings they actually had a 745i. The funny thing is that there is that Volvo hasn't produced any 745i competitor.

Yes, AMG buys M and RS cars to study their compition. M and RS do the same btw.
Somehing very interesting to me was what I heard from someone working at AMG. Porsche and AMG have signed of an agreement of exchanging cars. AMG ges cars from Porsche, and Porsche gets cars from AMG, so they both don't need to purchase the cars to study them!

thats a good deal for both IMO

I don't think it only limits to AMG cars either. When I worked at BMW SA, we delivered a 330i to Benz in a race track where they were comparing it to the C32AMG. I was surprised but after 2 days, they just returned it.

Some of the cars they buy and totally cut it into pieces to study how they are put together.

Thats very interesting. I find it kind of funny that volvo would borrow an M3, probably to crash test it! :P I also find ti funny that Porsche and AMG swap cars.

Oh yea and I happen to know that BMW bought a V8 Vantage to copy the acoustics of that car.
