iS calipers are nominally the same as 325 ones, but BMW have used two different makes. Seem to remember another recent thread that came to the conclusion that calipers had to be used with the matching support bracket, which don't appear to be in the sale.

The 2 manufacturers are ATE and Girling.

They appear to be ATE type with mounting brackets included.

The complete asembly will fit any E30 with vented front discs (except M3), or any E30 if you get the discs as well.
