Well to start off with, there's no such thing as a regular 325 AFAIK. There's 325e, 325es, 325i, 325is, and 325ix. No six-cylinder e30 comes 'dohc' from the factory. The e and es are 'eta' motors that are built more for economy and low-end torque, and due to their light valve springs, can't rev very high. the 'i' variants are the sportier cars that have slightly less torque but much higher horsepower and rev limits.
Hope that cleared things up a bit.This is your M20 on steroids:
