I know bleeding a BMW slave cylinder can be a chore, so I suggest you reserve judgment until you're sure it's done properly and there is no air left in the lines..

Went back to the shop this afternoon to have the clutch and brakes bled again
Clutch pedal has firmed up considerably
It now feels just a tiny bit softer than stock, but with greater sensitivity and consistency
Will need more seat time to evaluate further
Fortunately, I have a track day on Sunday  |
I figure that would help since the clutch and brakes shares the same brake fluid reservoir, so when you replace the slave cylinder, it can introduce air bubbles into the entire system, not just the clutch line.
Your shop did the right thing by bleeding the brakes and slave together, into order to eliminate any possible air from the complete system.
Beware DIYers, it's a total bitch if you vehicle is not up on a lift and you have no one to assist with the bleeding process..
