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.

Early maple color results from climate patterns, stress, or disease. Down the street, a towering maple begins to turn a fiery orange in early August while other trees are still dressed in their dark summer greens. If this is the first time you've noticed it, odds are that the answer to the early color is due to one set of reasons. However, if that mapleâs color is a singular event, or happens annually, it may signal cause for concern.
