320i will have a small case diff, ideally uprate to a large case, with a lower ratio, car will rev high on the 320i diff.
I've got a 325i converted touring, still running the 320i box, and a 3.64 LSD, and it's a great set up.

Yes, but only temporary, I wouldn't leave the 320i diff on permanent.

Not if you drive it sensible, you can drive fast but not hard!

For example, once you are in gear you can put your foot down and drive fast, but don't change gear rapid and thrash it off the lights!

turn input.. both outputs will turn the same way if its an lsd
not all 325i's had lsd's
it'll say on the tag the ratio, if not count how many input turns are req to turn output once..
