For the 320is we have to look for the 325is or the M3? 325 i suppose...

Yep 325i as the suspension is the same. Please note that there are two different damper diameters (45 and 51mm outside strut diameter). All 320iS's I've worked on sofar had the 51mm struts but it's good to check that first.

Here in Norway ALL 320i E30s are 45mm... But we do not have the iS model either...

I'll guess the 45mm where the standards and the 51mm the m-tecnic springs

Strangely that is not the case. The majority of the faster E30's is equipped with the 51mm struts but I've seen 325i's with 45mm. In the end it won't be such a big difference, but it is definitely worth the check when ordering! Ordering twice or all the hassle of getting them changed...
