R61 EBrake Handle Removal and Swap?

EBrake Handle Removal and Swap?
Has anyone with the Paceman removed the handle style EBrake and swapped it out? I searched but found out dated threads with no working links on how to actually do this. My first mod when I pick up my car is to get rid of that awful handle and move to a more traditional ebrake.
Any help, info or pics would be much appreciated.

I scoured the countryman forums but no real answers so I might try a DIY once I gather enough info and also speak to my MA about possible dealer installs.

But, no matter what I have to pull the center console up to pull the ebrake handle up or push it down.

Please let me know if you come up with anything! I looked into a few things this weekend and couldnt come up with much. Some have pointed out that it might be possible but then you conflict with the rail system and center console.

If I end up keeping the car, I'll see what I can do.
The dealership is now telling me that the 1.9% 6-year financing through MINI Financial that we agreed to and signed a contract for yesterday should have actually been 4.1%!
We haven't discussed the situation in detail yet...

I'm sure with enough ingenuity and time it can be done but I can almost guarantee it'll mean raping the rail and center console pretty badly. Not sure what could be used to fill that void.
I don't mind the brake and have actually come to like it. It does get in the way if using the rail a bit at the front but like anything I've found a workaround.

I live on a hill and I need to pull the handle all the way up to secure the car from rolling back when parked. Unfortunately that notch of tightness is about an inch above where the center console sits so I have to lift it every time I park at my home. At work or errands its fine but at home not so much. I can add a picture tonight when I get home for good measure.
