Hi simon and welcome to the forum dude.

im afraid the e30 325i prop wont fit, as the gearbox end of the prop is different to the M20 of the 325i. your best option which is what i have done is to mate the M60 prop with the M20 (325i) prop.

So is the e36 328i not a direct fit to the v8 as the Rstauto web page Got on it that the

M3 E30 (fits with 5-speed gearbox without modification)
325e E30 fit 129PS (5 speed with no changes)
E36 (medium stock exchange fits 328i, 5 speed with no changes)
E28 535i (E30 rear of use, then like a wave M3 E30)
