If shift quality seems to be crap under power, try out some stiffer transmission mounts.

E46 M3 trans mounts - Reduce the movement enough that the shift never feels poor, no NVH penalty
UUC Black isolated mounts - Significantly stiffer than M3 mounts, shifts feel very solid. Bit more noise e.g road noise, drivetrain noise but still ok.

If shift quality seems to be crap in general, the rubber gasket that surrounds the gear lever and seals against the body might not be installed correctly and seated. If not seated correctly it can make the shifter feel stiff to go into certain gears

These carrier bushings (2 bushings) make a significant difference as well. When moving the shifter side to side, these bushings will make the side to side limits much more positive and solid.
