Bugatti used the Diablo while testing the Veyron and I cant remember who but someone used the old Cerbera as a mule, it may have been Mclaren. Not to mention Bentley making their mules look like Mercs.
Difference being that Bugatti and Lamborghini are both part of the same family, BMW and Porsche most certainly are not.
I guess you didnt read the rest of my paragraph. The part about the Bentley sprucing their cars up like Mercs - almost direct competitors you could say.
