So I think its all factories? Someone else can correct me if I'm wrong.
I believe they stagger these shutdowns. Or try to, depending on work to be done. G30 has at least 2 assembly lines in Dingolfing, one of which is shared with other models. They both might be shared, don't recall. And there's the production line in Steyr, Austria.

Then there's September shutdowns for Oktoberfest. You don't want a car built on a Monday during Oktoberfest. Hangover city! LOL.
