Manual shifter ****?

I did a search, but came up short. The cap on my shifter in my 2008 Mini Cooper S broke off. I can glue it back on, but I figure it's time for a change. Also, when I took it out, I found that most of the clips holding the bottom of the boot to the center console are broken.

So, does anyone know of an after market ****? These don't take the standard thread on variety. I can buy the factory replacement, but that will run $125 or more. I was hoping to find something a little less expensive.

I got a Raceseng Spherology with the delrin cover
so it doesn’t get as cold or hot as bare metal.

Super biased response incoming. We make a great **** that already has delrin outer so as not to be too hot or cold. The core is heavy stainless, and the powder coated cap is aluminum (or polished stainless) and can be customized if you like. Just throwing my hat in the ring, happy shopping!
