if its in the same order as a 320i it should be 1-5-3-6-2-4.

Place the cap so that the holes are facing upwards and the inside of the cap is facing towards you.
Then, left to right: 2, 4, 6, king, 3, 1, 5.

320 and 325 have the same firing order.
2, 4, 6, king, 3, 1, 5 ! Just confirmed it on an engine.
If your 320 runs, then they must be on in this order. If they don't appear to be, then check the numbers on the leads at the plug ends as well.

?? As the cap sits on the engine, number one is second from the bottom.
