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. :-)
