    My mom wanted me to put the stock shift knob back in the mini so I did and was like hmm I should have done this a long time ago. My friend gave me a wicked nice ///M knob for my birthday randomly last year and I put it in the mini which felt nice, and was the only car I could drive at the time. Long before the e30.

    I had to cut off all this tape from the shifter and it was just grimy but totally worth it. There was 0 shifter feel with the flashlight handle, and I mean it. With this it feels great putting it into gear, and the channels are actually felt like a normal stick shift car. There is a little bit of play at the bottom of the shifter where the knob moves back and forth but not the shifter so for now all I had was orange duct tape. To thicken the metal a bit

    Now it's time to deal with the ripped shift boot =)

        Thanks CaliDazze!

        Did some touch up/ rust removal work on the passenger side, and reduced some vertical slop in the shifter and there was a driveshaft bolt loose and made squeaky sounds but I found it and tightened it not so ugly on this side anymore

          Returning the lower part of the rockers and valence to black might help...

          Like so:
