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:
Fall colors occur from early September through about the third week of October with maple colors peaking the last week of September into the first week of October. The next week the golden peak season occurs. Rainfall and temps affect both when the colors occur and how long they last, so it is variable each year. Starting Labor Day, I will provide weekly fall color reports with suggested tours each Thursday.
