I saw a certain BMW CEO checking out the Alfa stand. And also the same BMW CEO at the Audi stand. I think that is quite normal and good - for everyone. I know that the MB CEO's went to the Porsche stand as well to check out their new concept.

The Chinese were all over at the Frankfurt show "looking" and "taking" pictures in minute detail.
Over at the MB hall I saw a German engineer taking very close up pics of the engine bay on the new S-Class coupe and C-Class coupe. He also took pics of how the engine hood and trunk hinges worked. He was the only German I saw doing that. Most I would say were Chinese.
I don't have a problem with people checking out what the competition is offering and how the NAV or certain features work on the car. But I think its wrong for a person to spend an hour, at say that Audi interior mock up and be taking such detailed notes with photos and videos and all.
