Re: 320 or 325?
Go for the 325 , 320 has no power . I have the e90 325 bought it 2 years ago second hand . Beautiful car to drive handles very well.
But servicing costs can go up very fast. Normal oil change is $200+ .
But once the car does 120k then the wear and tear all come in . I just changed the front bushes , rear brake pads and rotors , battery , light bulbs. Air con now not cold and my exhaust solenoid for the vanos needs replacing . You can say good buy to $3k for all .
My advice is to get the car checked before you buy it.

Aircond not cool got many cause, check before replace coil.
Sometimes it just defected expansion valve or clogged evaporator coil.

When my e60 aircond was not cool, i release refrigerant from system, vacuum for 1 hours, then tightness test for half hour.
Recharge to manufacture require level, it does improve very little.
And i check expansion valve condition, check superheat, subcooling on system..... end up it was evaporator coil dirty and clog to cause bad heat exchange on evaporator coil.

If you are referring to the exhaust solenoid valve - thought that one can try cleaning first ....
