 It's mild steel and can be bent to your liking. I wouldn't do it too many times though. ;-)

Looking at photos of the B&M, in the install procedure, it looks like it has no bend either.  I recall the official Porsche shifter does.  I personally like it with the same bend as the stock shifter.
P.S.  The one I got looks like it is chrome plated.  Bending it would crack the chrome plating but would work harden it...making it stronger...until it fatigues and fails.  :-)
