Review on πŸš— Custom Universal BMW Mini Shift Knob Shifter Adapter by Kei Project - Black by Paul Lewis

it's good there. If you pull up fairly hard or try to .

Works fine on my 2005 Mini Cooper S R53. It dangles a bit initially when you slide onto the switch, but after tightening the 3 set screws it feels solid. Please remember that this part does not come with a wrench or set screw socket. So make sure you have an M2.5 hex socket or hex key to tighten them. It goes without saying that a set of screws will dig into your derailleur a bit, so be prepared to make that sacrifice when installing it on your car. After it's tightened, it's good there. If you pull up pretty hard or try to twist the shifter like a stuck motorcycle throttle, I can't guarantee it won't move, but mine didn't move at all. I was able to fit this adapter to my shifter and screw the 1.5 pound steel shift knob into place without twisting it or digging into the shifter, so I'm happy with it. Not a perfect solution compared to a properly bolted-on derailleur, but it looks great (to me because it complements my shift knob) and does what it's supposed to.

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Vulgarity
