The 2ltr engine has a smaller throttle body opening.
If it ain't broke..
Fix it till it is :)

Intake manifolds differ completely between 2.0 and 2.5.

The flanges have the same hole centres etc but have a slightly different port shape.

You could easily re-shape them with a die grinder or dremel and a 325i inlet gasket though.
