The gearbox will work ok, as with most other things, but you will need a 325i ECU. Do you have a new engine yet? And if you have, what ancillarys do you have with it?

Air meter, throttle body and inlet manifold and ECU have to be changed. All other ancillaries are the same or will do, including the engine loom.
As with all engine swaps, see my 'wiring warning' sticky thread in the 'engine swaps' forum.
