But not the stock shift lever.
From their site:
"The C.M.S.H. is designed to fit aftermarket MINI shifters with a M12 x 1.25mm thread.
The C.M.S.H. will not fit stock factory MINI shifters."

Bummer.

I believe so....the person who created it says he uses his on both his street MINI and race-prepped MINI which have the alta shift.

Same here...almost but not as much as you due to the fact that you do own a "Bat Cave"...

SID a left over from the Super Gas Camaro

This is one of the best shift handles I have ever used. It rests perfectly in a natural hand position and you can shift hard and fast. Also the button on the side activates toys.....

I would prefer it to say HURST, rather than B&M.

Please don't tell me you have a Line-Loc hooked up to that button for the rear wheels.

I have a HURST handle (from my V-Gate) but I thought that the B & M went along with the B & M short shifter .

hmmmmm.......Line - Loc..it could be done but 2 solenoids because of the DSC. Now wouldn't that be a tire smoking sight.
Thanks PARTSMAN

By the way the button activates the exhaust FLAME.........

C'mon man, first the KITT light in the scoop, now flames out the exhaust! Now that is something i'd like to see.
Do you talk to your MINI with your watch too?

This is how your interior will eventually look...

...either yours or Sid's. I lost track a while ago.
