Anything that fits an R55, R56, R57, R58 or R59 will also fit the Countryman shifter.

I have a Whalen **** with the shift pattern and love it.



I've also seen people recommend TWM, but I don't have any experience with them.

How does that mount with the goofy clip setup or a set screw?

Mine is from my old R53 mounted on the Craven short shifter. It clips into a groove in the shifter (i wouldn't call it goofy but maybe you disagree). No idea how the R56 ones attach.

Get a Whalen and a baby sock I used to take my gen 1 whalen **** on and off when it was too hot or cold out. Too bad MINI went to the BMW shift boot mount thingy on the ****.

The **** with the red face, right? Very nice. I assume there's nothing to installing it with the cover. I saw it advertised complete for $54.95.

New Shift ****!

Finally made a decision... Ordered a titanium finish 2" ball SS shift **** from Storm Motorwerks. The **** has the 6-speed pattern and the mini logo etched into the top. Pricing was reasonable. Customer service was good. I asked them to try making a handbrake handle for the Countryman/Paceman. We'll see how that goes... Now I need to invest in a real set of driving gloves .

Yup 2 set screws support an already tight fit. It feels like it even sits a little lower than the OEM ****.

Thanks! I see that the company is in the UK. Was the shipping cost reasonable?

You will love it. I have one on my Clubman. Really high quality product. Looks awesome in the car and has a good weigh to it.

Yes it was only $10. It wasn't automatically included in the order form though so I had to make the extra payment afterwards through PayPal. They always responded within 24 hrs, including to tell me they needed the $10 to ship it.

Sportysally, once your shift **** shipped from the U.K. how long did it take to arrive?
