There's no need to limit yourself to a 320i rad either, 320i/325i as long as their from a facelift car are identical, manual/auto cars have different rads though, so be careful there.

Shouldnt make that much difference. The only difference between Auto/Manual rads is the trans cooler on the side of the rad for the autobox.

I have one in my manual Sport and have just blanked off the inlets for the trans cooler.
Ok, I dont have the M20 anymore, but the rad fits the same.
