what year is the 325ci? Is it a convertible or a coupe?
i recommend against the K&N filter. i dont think they make a difference in the world and you run the risk of contaminating your MAF sensor with the oil from the filter.

I tend to like OEM parts for BMWs.

contaminating your MAF sensor with the oil from the filter

Nice car! Dirty_Tool, I agree with the risk of contaminating your MAF sensor with the oil for the filter! I went with the AFE intake, which has an option with a PRO Dry filter & NO OILing REQUIRED! I don't know if K&N has that option, although they might......So if DR805, really wants a CAI, he can search those options!
johnny,

p.s. The afe CAI is an OEM fit! It fits right in place of the Air filter Box......no modifications needed......

then to answer your original question, your car is a e46.
