Lots of little things like the battery is in the boot of a 325i and the cooling system is different (but either will work on either I beleive??) but they are similar enough to make a conversion 2.0 to 2.5 more than feasible.
I seem to remember you can use the 320i engine loom with the 325 ECU strapped in but I'm no M20 expert.
The diff is a small case 4.1 on 320i's I beleive and early ones had drum brakes at the rear. I think, but again am not sure, the 320i had smaller type struts, brakes and anti roll bars which is something that would need to be addressed.
Just adding to the post before a real techy M20 nerd somes and fills in the gaps!
Good luck.
