BMW Performance Shift ****

Hey y'all.
Anybody know if the bmw performance shift ***** (ZHP style) will fit our r53's? The JCW ***** are particularly huge and my stock one has a tear in the leather that I'm not fond of.

Im a fan of the shift ***** from RaceEng... especially the weighted shift *****. ("SLAMMER")
Lots of diff finishes too.
This one weighs in at 635gm (22 oz).
Made for the MINI as well. R50 - R60 F54 - F57

Feels good in your hand, throws better, and is a bit smaller than the factory unit.

All MINI shift *****

Not that i know of, i just know that one guy did it, Not a lot of info on that.

That Racseng shifter in red is like a perfect match for JCW red https://www.ecstuning.com/b-raceseng-parts/v-mini/ , in fact here how good it looks

+1 for the Raceseng shiftknobs.

I love mine. Nice weight and great feel.

I went with a Contour in graphite texture and it's a damn-near perfect match for my anthracite interior.

Wondering what this "heavy" **** weighs from ECS... It looks great... but wonder if it is in the same ballpark as the 1 - 1.5lb ***** from RaceEng??

It's a beautiful shift-****.... more of a light/mid-weight **** in comparison to the slightly lighter stock... or the triple weight slammer.

Do they make a heavier leather covered ****?
