Your shocks should be 51mm with it being a 325i.
60/40 looks best and gives good road holding.
Try our zone shop by clicking on the 'evolve' link at the top of our page.
The H&R cup kits are very good.

Although some of us go 35mm lower as 60/40 is too low for us.

And one of us had to go 20/0 due to garage access. 
This is why I no longer drive an E30......
