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:
Typically,around what time do the aspen trees begin to change color in the Clark area of Colorado? I'm not looking for peak color, but would they have normally started to change at all during the first week of September? Or is that still too early to see any color?
