Are there any issues installing this to a R53 with the chrono pack?
Will it still fit?

Not that I am aware of. I had a few clients that were going to do that. I never heard back which I can ASSUME means no issues.

Hope that helps!

No kit. Just instructions! Check out the JCW section of NAM.

Thanks Adam got it installed wednesday, it is flush with R53 plate. I completly cut the little plastic protruding nipple off with a toe nail clipper, to make it flush. While at it added Start Button Panel, JCW Steering Wheel, and GPS. This Gear Shift Indicator is 10 times better than the old light, I set it at just 7k rpm, I figured by the time I shift it would reach close to redline.

It's all you need parts wise, it will come with some wire taps. for tools you'll need something to cut it off of the old plastic and a Phillips head screwdriver.

ok thank, But i called alta and they send to Europe but the shipping is very expensive, so do you know what i need if i buy here the shif indicator to install it to my R53? do i need some wires or something like Alta provides?
Thanks

Contact your local dealer, and just get the JCW shift indicator for he R56, it's all BMW/MINI factory parts. You may need to do a little parts research, but the dealer should be able to look it up without much issue.

I want to do it myself, because here there isn't BMWQ dealer because i live in an island, is why i asked, i saw on the ALTA SHIFT that they provide a T-taps and some males, nothing else i think, is it easy to install?

PM me your details. I am thinking we can sharpen our pencils a bit on the shipping. I have an idea to save you some money. Thanks!

Is this mod still available? I would be interested depending on the cost.
