I haven't seen these anywhere else. I reached out to Lohen and they indicated that these are new OEM products from MINI. Has anyone else seen these?

I confirmed that they are indeed new for the F56 from MINI. Part no. for the shifter is 34 40 2 469 137.

 

Not open for USA Market yet, we will you know when it comes out. Should not be long, in the past its usually a couple weeks to a month.

EDIT***

They finally cam out: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...o-parts-2.html

 

Three days from England to Texas. Took all of 8 minutes to install. I think they look great. They really feel well built.

 

How heavy is the shift ****?

 

I didn't weigh it before installation, but it feels heavier than the stock one. I'm not sure if heavier is better, but it feels more substantial when I shifted the gears. It also feels like it is not quite as tall as the original one, and feels better in my hand. It goes on so easily that I may take it off and compare the weight and height of the two units.

 

I've got a shortshifter so it takes more effort to move the lever since there's less leverage to use. A heavier **** makes it easier and smoother to shift. My Raceseng weighs 635g and while I never weighed the stock **** the Raceseng is much, much heavier.

 

What was the cost to get to Texas...in New Braunfels

 

£40.83 = $50 I figured that was reasonable especially since I didn't have sales tax.

 

These look real nice with the red clip rings. They miss the JCW logo of the Gen 2 but otherwise they have the exact same shape. I like these subtle little carbon fiber upgrades because they dress up an interior nicely. With the matching carpets, its even better.

 

I have one of these which I'm considering placing in my gen2 roadster, had planned on a Whalen but picked it up when buying some Union Jack rear lights for my F56, looks like it's 3/4" taller than the jcw **** in the roadster

I will weigh it if anyone is keen to know.

 

FYI: My stock 2018 JCW **** weighs 188 grams.

 

Will these eventually be available through the USA dealer network? Or are they Euro only parts?

USA MINI dealers?

 

Most US dealers don't have them yet, but we are offering them. Just got to get the pics up on the website

Thanks for the info. I'm thinking about ordering a car in March and was curious if I could have these rolled into the configuration/purchase price.

 

We have them in that thread above.

 

im sorry not to be exact but my new jcw **** comes in about 200 grams, on scales with trimming fabric sat on worktop
**** is about 4 visible or 5 inches including Collar fixing below trimming fabric

 

Just added some pictures of trial fit in my roadster,
the longer shift lifts my arm above the central armrest

I also have a rather quick F56 Sd which may well be it’s final destination

 

Thats great!

 

Received my new **** today - 5 mins later fitted

 

Awesome!

 

I have a JCW Pro Carbon Fiber/Alcantara shift **** in my 2022 JCW and it put fiber splinters in my hand. I thought it was defective and got another one - it does the same thing. Has anyone else had this issue? Typically carbon fiber has a coating on it, this model of the shifter does not.

 

Lmao! I thought I was the only one that had that problem! I will say it goes away after a few miles. Doesn’t do it anymore, I’m at 4,200 miles. Enjoy, Jose
