the older generation and some of the new, like the ones they also fitted in the bmw made Mini Cooper S cars...

Best described in my opinion as, "Snappy".

To me, the Miata (NA or NB chassis) has the best and most mechanical shifter ever designed... the FR-S is a very close second. I equate this shift quality to BMW because it is well damped yet still slightly mechanical, with throws that are probably 30% longer than a Miata. (My NA 100% stock Miata has a 2" throw between 1st and 2nd for instance... more like a rifle bolt)
