what would happen if i put 325i lowering springs on a 318i

It might sit a tad higher at the front ?

If you look on ETK, there are only 2 part numbers listed for front springs on the 318iS. Both these part numbers appear in the lists for front springs on 320i and 325i.
318iS listing here: http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do ... g=31&fg=10
320i listing here: http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do ... g=31&fg=10
325i listine here: http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do ... g=31&fg=10
I picked the same build month for all three examples.

Andy....... What suspension set-up are you running now? Yours sits roughly how I'd like mine to (when I have some more disposible, later in the year).

The thing you don't get with that online ETK is you also get differant springs fitted to the same model,like if the car's got air con then the fronts will be differant or if the cars fitted with a tow bar the rear's are differant.

My set up is a bit of a mix,it's got Spax adjustable Touring/saloon dampers front and rear with Spax M3 springs at the front and Spax Touring/saloon springs at the back.

I was going to use Spax M3 springs all round but the rear was to low for my liking,might be a better height now i've took my tow bar off ?

The ride height is a tad lower than in my sig pic because the car's not completely level(N/S is in the gutter).
