Anyone rocking an aftermarket shift ****?

Hi Guys,

Coming up on 3 years of owning my R57 Convertible and just toying with the idea of changing the shift ****.

Anybody done anything to theirs? Any pictures? I would like something that fits with the shift boot for a factory finish. Options seem to be few and far between so I am open to suggestions.

Thanks,
Emile

Cravenspeed short shifter with 450 gram stainless ****. The shortshifter allows you to use a much wider selection of aftermarket threaded *****.

Yes, finally we have them. I like they have the old 5 speed **** for my Cooper, with the correct shift pattern.

Adding more every day.

So far, these are the three I have narrowed it down to:

http://www.raceseng.com/topology-shi...-speed-manual#
https://www.turnermotorsport.com/p-3.../#tabDoesItFit
https://www.getbmwparts.com/partloca...catalogid=4462

My preference would be the same style/shape as the JCW but in leather. I have found some BMW ones but not sure how much retrofitting would be required.

Wanting to rock an aftermarket

OEM **** with OEM sleeve
OEM **** with OEM sleeve
OEM **** with OEM sleeve
OEM **** with OEM sleeve
Aftermarket
AftermarketSo I am wanting to put the red and carbon fiber **** on. I pulled it all apart but the adapters sent from the manufacturer are all to small for my shifter. Plus the yellow sleeve houses the clips to attach the boot.

So ultimately I need help with figuring out and adapter sleeve that will fit the new one reliably and still allow attachment to the boot.

Please help?
