The brand is owned by BMW but it doesn't make the MINI a BMW. Just like the above reference, where someone noted the relationship between Smart and Mercedes-Benz. Indeed they are. BMW bought the company from the Rover group and are producing the new Mini in a plant near Oxford, England.
According to the map, those in the Upper Peninsula and northern Michigan are predicted to see partial color and the leaves will peak around October 7 -- and for those in Michigan's southern portion, the peak is expected to come around October 14. But dates for peak colors can be hard to predict. The Foliage Network notes:
The first factor hinting at early color is the current dryness. I've been up north in the last week, and there are maple trees that have a hint of fall color throughout the tree. It is normal at this time of year to see a colorful branch here and there. But the trees turning now are doing it all over the tree. This leads me to believe that some of the trees may turn color early.
