It's a bad pic. You can see "MINiDrive" joystick is lying between gear lever & parking brake lever. It sits below idle position of parking brake lever, so it won't obstruct gear lever usage at all.


I'm more interested in press reaction to the fact MINI is getting iDrive (in whatever form it is, in whatever position its controller sits etc). Mini was seen as cute & fun & simple, while BMW was heavily criticized for iDrive.

I can't wait to see the reaction now.

Will new MINI be criticized as well due iDrive, or press will be less bashing this time?
