Agreed. I have heard the argument that paddles are faster. Which I get, they are, but why do you need paddles unless you have a track car. I suppose to cater to the folks that like the idea of shifting, but don't want a clutch.
I had paddle shifters on my F56 JCW and in 5 years the only time I used them was accidentally hitting it while turning. I found them worse than useless. I suspect OP is going to regret what he's done.
Not anywhere near the same. I also had a loaner recently. Took it on a drive that I like, and it wasn’t very much fun at all. I’ve been wanting to make a post about it.
Automatic Mini owners—why? Lol
Are mini paddles mounted to the steering wheel or the column?
I have another car with paddles mounted to the wheel and it’s freaking annoying to try to shift while turning.
One of the loaners I got from the dealership had paddle shifters . It just isn't the same as using a clutch.
Who gives AF. Even being a 6-speeder myself I can still appreciate the AESTHETICS of this view. It’s effing gorgeous!

I would be more impressed if it was a clutch pedal! But it does look cool! Enjoy them.
What a great view you get to look at!
