Finally got a MINI

Hi everyone. I have wanted a MINI ever since they started remaking them. A couple of weeks ago I finally got one. It's a 2016 Clubman. Pepper White, black bonnet stripes, and all kinds of goodies. It even has these black jack head rests and little black jack badges on the seats.

I do have a question too, does anyone know of a short shifter, or at the least a shift ****, for the 2016 Clubman? I love the car, but the shift **** bugs me for some reason. The leather strip that runs up the middle just feels awkward to me.

Congrats on the Mini, but to clarify, they never stopped making them. When BMW took over ownership, they redesigned them. Although BMW does still make the classic Mini bodies for Mini enthusiasts.

Welcome to NAM.

If you have not already done so, can I suggest you check out the the Gen3 F54 area of the forum. You may find some information on shift *****.

Any of the vendors on NAM can get you a short shift kit. Craven Speed (local to me) makes one. They usually have some great products.

Congrats

We have several short shift options, and some very cost effective ones too.
