Hydraulic clutch issue

Hello all

I have a BMW 3 series 320diesel 04 plate which is fitted with a Hydraulic clutch.

The clutch bites in the right place and doesnt slip or anything,the issue is it feels very heavy to push the pedal up and down.

Is there anything that can be done to free it up a bit or is it what it is unless you change the clutch etc

Any info would be great

Thanks

By the sound of it, it could be that the clutch cover has gone stiff. how many miles has it done?

i have an E36 M3 which are renowned for hard crap feeling clutches, a popular mod to make it feel a bit better is replacing the rubber clutch hose for a braided one, as you would with brake line.
