Buying my 1st 335i: JB4 tune non-Bluetooth, new turbos less than 2k on them, wheel spacers, Michelin sports tires 90%, new water pump and thermostat, steal slot and ported breaks, intake, stage 2 clutch, all maintenance up to date and regular, 87k Miles, established a local enthusiast specialty shop; broken motor for passenger seat, tire light on, airbag light on... learning everything I think I need to know to maintain a mean bimmer. Any suggestions?

I am a bit concerned about the clutch? Stage 2, very stiff. My current car stage 2 clutch, short shift, easy not stiff like butter. It's the only thing I don't like about the 335i.

The manual transmission has never been know to be "smooth" on BMWs. Even previous generations.

get one of these and get rid of the clutch delay valve... problem solved

my e36 shifted a lot better than my e92 does...
a short shift kit just makes it easier to money shift and.burn through synchros...

Everything should be good if it was kept nicely.
I will do walnut blasting if it wasn't done in the past...

BMW is known for popping random lights on dashboard lol because its too sensitive. Just get the code and ask people what's wrong with it.
