The 328 is used in the E36 cars after 1996, the 325 is used in cars
before '96. The 328 gives 1 more HP, but has about 30% more torque, give
or take a few foot pounds. The 328 is an OBD II engine, and you can pull
trouble codes with readily available diagnostic equipment, the 325 is
OBD I, and pulling codes requires equipment that costs much more.

Actually - OBD-I codes can be retrieved with no equipment at all.. it's
called the 5-stomp method. Turn the car to the run position without
starting it - stomp the accelerator to the floor 5 times within 5
seconds. The codes will read out as the CEL flashes. Does in a sequence
of flashes representing the numbers.

if for whatever reasont the foot-stomp does not work - you can open the hood and open-close the throttle by hand 5 times. (equivallent stepping on the gas 5 times) this hapens if your cable needs re-adjusting.
