I have a 2001 325i. I also have 4 relatively new 195/65R15 snow tires on steel rims for VW GTI sitting around. I'd like to know if a 15in steel rim for a 323i can fit a 2001 325i. Thanks for your help.

No, 15" rims will not fit 325s. This is because BMW upgraded the 325s brakes w/ the same brakes used on the 328. THe larger diameter rotors mean that 15" wheels won't fit.
