I think it's more likely that you can visit a museum of a plant on a Sunday and as an individual but on visits Porsche in Stuttgart and it tells you where things are, so you can google all you are interested to find the specific business conditions, etc. Can be groups for certain plants The new Porsche museum opens in Stuttgart January 31, 2009 and will be open on Sundays, see in German, but you can see the time etc Stuttgart is about 1h30 by train from Frankfurt, for example dep Sunday October 20th arr November 50, normal one-way fare is 40 IC 56 on the ice, you see needn t use the exact dates of your trip, but make sure it is the same day of the week then about 15 minutes on the S-Bahn in Zuffenhausen online S4, see or if you lack time you may prefer to take a taxi.

The brands you mention are not produced in the Frankfurt region The easiest thing to do is to take the train to Stuttgart, where Mercedes and Porsche are located just 1 The journey takes 20 hours.
Mercedes is in the suburbs of Untertürkheim, and the Mercedes Benz museum is absolutely fantastic as Daimler and Benz produced the first cars and were the pioneers, it is also the leading museum in the transportation of all exposures are not only beautiful, but also the building itself they got a special prize for the spectacular design of the museum.
It is open on Sundays 9:00 to 6:00 p.M. Closed on Monday so good for your free time.
Opening hours same as Mercedes Benz The site is very easy to use.
If you start early you can do Mercedes Benz and Porsche in a day, you'll be k o after, but saw and learned a lot.
Both places are easily accessible by public transport from the main station.
The BMW Museum in Munich, is already a great trip if you want to do it in one day on one-way rail trip takes 3 10 hours it is open on Sundays 10:00 to 8:00 p.M. They also once won an award for their great concept.
The nearest automobile production site in the Frankfurt area is Opel in Rüsselsheim But really - what is Opel LOL.
Really near Frankfurt for Opel in Rüsselsheim They offer factory tours, but not sure that there are also tours in English for half an hour by S-Bahn Stop Frankfurt Opelwerk.
The new Porsche Museum will open its doors in January Mercedes opened a new museum in 2006 of Porsche factory visits does not provide for the Mercedes offers a tour of the factory in Untertürkheim public option with the museum No assembly line cars but Untertürkheim for more details see the brochure for a tour of the factory to the assembly plant in Sindelfingen you must apply at least 4 weeks in advance Contact email.

I do not think there is one of these plants Car Brand in Frankfurt You might have to go to Stuttgart or Munich for BMW and Porsche.
I do not know how busy they are now, but a few months ago, it was impossible to enter the Mercedes museum if you had prebooked t long before your ticket.

When we were there last year, we have presented to the ticket counter and got our tickets no problem.
Maybe it depends on the season - holidays, bad weather, etc.
We were told that since they accept by large pre-registration groups, very few tickets were left for spontaneous visitors Maybe we were unlucky It was during the high season.
