No
For the most part, the answer is no.For interior pieces, most parts will be interchangeable.The M3 features a wide-body, so the exterior body pieces are almost all different.The M3 uses a S54 engine, which produces much more power than the 325i which has a M54 engine. Most of the engines parts are different in order to produce the extra power. Due to this, they cannot be interchanged between the two.
There is no BMW V6 engine.
