I want to fit the rear brakes from a 325 to my 320. Does anyone know what exactly is needed to convert and whats involved...?

Basically rear trailing arms and hand brake cables, worth doing the subframe bushes if you haven't already and checking the condition of the trailing arm bushes (x4)

Shame your not closer, I have a complete disc rear end inc handbrake cables for £50

I`ve got the rear end stripped at the min, replacing all bushings and fitting 325 engine and running gear. I decided I was going to need better brakes and I might aswell do them now while I`m in there. So its a bolt on upgrade I dont need to modify anything....?
