Went on super easy but had to contact CS for retorque specs. It's slightly more stable in cornering.

I have spent roughly 400-500 dollars with Outmotoring since the purchase of my 1st Gen MCS. I have only had one small issue with paypal not working to complete the order correctly, which was solved as soon as I emailed them. Great customer service, and excellent products at good prices. I will continue to shop with Outmotoring for anything I need for my MINI.

If you don't mind destroying the OEM shifter boot then this thing is a snap (literally and figuratively) to install. You won't need to disassemble the center console. I just broke it off with a screwdriver. The new well pops right in with no tools. Couldn't be simpler.

Excellent experience! We needed an exhaust manifold in a hurry for a customer's MINI. Out Motoring answered our questions and got one shipped out very quickly. Five stars for sure.
