I have been to FRA a few times. The station is called 'Frankfurt Flughafen Fernbahnhof', approx. 5 mins walk from the main airport. Use this to search on the Die Bahn site.

Libra, we need some help. If you have been to the airport ICE station Frankfurt Flughafen Fernbahnhof do the pictures in frame 45,46,and 47 look like the correct station? I am sure it is not the Bahnhof in either Stuttgart or Munich since they are enclosed structures. Of course, it could be some other suburban station. Also note that the buildings reflected in the coach window as Dani walks by are the same buildings shown in frame 45 as the train approaches. Also just from the frames it is hard to determine whether she is getting off the train or boarding the train. If I see the pictures in motion, it would be clearer.
Help us out and you can share our Schnitzel!!
Another notation. In frame 48 we have Jeremy (gray jacket) driving his Mercedes. Note that the windshield visor is DOWN and he seems to be driving into the sun. It could be either early morning or late afternoon; I favor the latter. Any other ideas, Chateau?
As to Puddin's query about camera shots. These test facilities are as secure as secure can get. Mercedes (and other companies in Germany) are comstantly developing and testing new models and concept cars that may not see the light of a showroom for years to come. They would try everything they can to learn other companies secrets and vise versa; that's why no private cameras are allowed on the grounds.

gingerman28,
Last time I was in FRA was June 2005. The airport station only has a roof, it's not indoors and fully enclosed like the one in Munich. I think the roof only covers part of the platform so those 3 shots of the train arriving/departing could be the airport station. Sorry I don't remember and can't be 100% certain. I tried to google pics of this station but couldn't come up with any.
Boingo:
OK kids, time for a Daimler-Chrysler Reality Check. We see a racer running past parked Mercedes at the entrance to the Daimler-Chrysler Unterturkheim plant on the east side of Stuttgart. There are 3 (as far as we know) MB test tracks in the Stuttgart area. 2 at the MB Sindelfingen plant and one at the Unterturkheim plant. (Try to say that three time fast). Given that we don't have any vidcaps of any Sindelfingen buildings (only a possible track), we can probably assume the racers drive the test track at Unterturkheim. This brings up another possibility, given the CBS spoiler, the racers may follow each other to the wrong MB facility, given they are over 12 miles apart. It's possible.
