Has anybody done an install? Need to find a shop that would do it
Look at the second photo, it has a JCW **** on it and seems to be a better fit for a street car
thats some kind of build for sure but hes in the Netherlands; I was hoping somewhere close like,,,, Chicago
It's not rocket science. It's actually reasonably well documented by the manufacturer & capable of being done by a "backyard mechanic". Regardless, I've posted a link to another install done in KS. FWIW, I have one installed in my Mk 1 GTI, but I bought the car with it already installed. They are well constructed & beautiful shifters.

Flames, do you like the feel of it on your GTI? slash consider it worthwhile?

I love it, but it's hard to say that it's worth the stiff cost. It's more one of those over-the-top mods IMO. I will say that it is worth what they are charging for it though.
Check out ra2fanatics build. He has one on his build and I found some more info on MT. I think I Googled it, but I'm not 100% where on there I found it.
If you have the funds for it, it's ridiculously fun to have it. I hope to put one of these in all the cars I'll have in the future
It's incredible, what it adds to the drivability of the car! It may be pricey, but it's worth every penny. I had Advanced Auto Fabrication in Spokane, Wa. do the install.They specialize in modifying BMW's
I'm new to all this.. What functionality does this add over the stock and short shifter? Would it be better to go with this or a Cravenspeed Short Shifter?
It doesn't take too much to understand that the CAE shifter is not just synonymous to MINIs. Youtube CAE shifter and you'll understand how great it is, not just on a MINI, but BMWs, Porsches, etc etc.. The Craven SSK is good too, but if you really do have $1k to spend on a shifter, then I'd say do it.

Sorry to revive a dead thread, but has anyone see the coolerworx shifter for the mini. It looks similar with a price tag at $708 shipped. But I just found out ECS has the CAE shifter on sale for 1065 right now.
I've sold myself and my wallet on one of them. Was leaning towards coolerwox but if i'm going to spend this much money on a shifter i want it to be the best i can get period. go big or go home right?
But if the coolerworx is just as good that's money i can put somewhere else into the car.
Very tempting. Do you know if the shift cables that CAE offers on their german site are the same as oem? My boots are worn and they freeze in the winter, so I need to replace them anyways even though I have the 2005 LCI cables.
I have an 05 r53, but my shift cable boots on the gearbox end are worn and need replacing as they allow moisture in and freeze during the winter preventing me from moving the stick left and right.

Do them in pairs. Both here below 25117548431 and 25117547371
Revisiting the R56 CAE question, still interested, however, tearing up the interior is still a big hurdle. Is relocating console switches necessary? Has Anybody come up with a good looking interior solution for a 09 fJCW R56, it seems the R53 and F56 cars are setup better to hide the bridge work.
