As long as it doesn't leave ring-shaped indentations in your palm, I'm ok with it. My last two MINI's I swapped out the stock shift **** for the JCW. SOOOO much more comfy pushing, pulling, and just resting waiting for the next gear slam. But that one doesn't look too bad at all.

Thanks for sharing. Yet another reason I'm going to be glad getting my order for a 2013 in before the switch over.

Looks baaaaaaddddd! I am really starting to love everything about the F56 more and more, but still mad about the speedometer(it should have an option at least).

yuck! I luv my GP2 shifter and wouldnt want anything else. It literally fits like a ball and socket joint with my hand, so comfortable and makes shifting a joy! Looks great too....this thing in the picture.......I'd rip it out and chuck it in a lake!

Do you think you could get it to skip across the lake a few times before it sank? ha ha

The speedo is what made it a deal breaker for me... But non the less I am very curious to see one in person..lol..

I'll reserve judgment until I see one in person. My first MINI was an '06 R50 Checkmate with the Chrono Pack, so it didn't have a speedo in the center either, and I was fine with it. I'm still fascinated by the fact that the engine start/stop button is now a large toggle in the middle of the bank. Rather interesting.
