Its a different feel, and position you hardly can judge without having it used.


Sure i can shift as quick with the the standard stick, however as I have saved 2000 bugs by not ordering the auto, and have still 2000 from the not ordered "25 kg Panorama Roof Head Stoner", i couldn't resist to improve physical handling, like on other MINIs from me

That was even more problem to install my R56

I think I like it better without the boot.

Still a less expensive option than what is available for my Mustang...the Bremer Sequential Shifter retails for a cool $2400, so its pricetag of $1438 USD isn't too bad. I still gladly row through the gears in my Mustang as $2400 is almost 10 track days and ~50 auto-x's. Since I have the auto in my Clubby, I can use my pull/push shifter all day long, every day...

I would be more inclined to pay the price if it was sequential instead of H pattern.

CAE you can use it for a sequential as well

A original stick for a squential is as expansive as the CAE if not more

Not to derail the thread, but are you using your stock belts with your Recaros?

yes, as the seats get "TUV" (MOT) approval", if you change a safety feature you have to do that, to have a clean ride on public roads.

I have my Sparco's set up so I can use the stock belt or my 4 point cam-loc harnesses. The 4 points are too much hassle for daily use anyway.

My fat back, glues to the seat, and i need no harnesses, thats by the way the great about those bucket seats.

I also ordered a "6" and hope i can shape that into that

Even the side holders require a ABE, anyhow with the ABE Iam free to shape the seats as I like - and no pol.control clown can argue, I leave a recaro sticker under the seats.

I did mine in about 30 minutes. It is very easy. the hardest part is removing the retaining clip. I would strongly suggest buying the replacement one they sell Will make life so much easier.
