Measurements of what?
I just bought Koni adjustable shocks for my 318ic, and Intrax Springs, but for your car you could easily go with Bilstein shocks and Eibach or H&R springs.
I don't know what you would want to measure though. I also don't know where you live, so telling you where to get the stuff might be pointless.
Do let me know though.

www.bmpdesign.com They are in Tyler, Texas. They will take care of all your needs. Your car is easy to fit a suspension upgrade to. I only bought Intrax springs because supposedly they are specific for the 318ic (rare model with M42). Eibach and H&R only make springs for the 325ic, so I didn't want those. The Koni's are just a personal choice.
For your car, you can get Eibach or H&R springs, and Bilstein or Koni shocks from BMPDesign. Bilsteins are great, but the Koni's are adjustable for rebound, but not for height. These are set up as a stock replacement. H&R probably makes a "Cup Kit" for your car... Coil-over suspension, which is completely different from stock.

I have the parts that you need to make over your suspension. They are all factory, OEM parts for a fraction of what the dealer or any other place will charge you. The parts come with a 12,000/12-month warranty. I have a 325e and it handles beautifully!!! You can only imagine what a stock suspension will feel like. You could get the entire suspension kit which includes the struts, mounts, high performance springs and shocks, and sway bar bushings. The price for all of this is $1100.00.
Now if you want individual parts, the struts are inserts and go for $250.00 pair; the rear shocks are Bilstein and they go for $280.00 pair. Let me know if you're interested. All of these parts came directly from Germany specifically for the BMW 325e.
I also have other parts that you might need in the future. You won't be disappointed with the prices.

17's are nice, but, they are so heavy when compared to oem setups, hence, not as good.
say, oem's ...
14's baskets weaves and tires weight 28 lbs
15" Euro weabes and ZIEX 225/50/15 tires come in at 32lbs
my 17" Focal F5 and 215/45/17 tires weight 42 lbs each. a bad upgrade.
I'm runing M3 springs and Bil stein shocks on my Zinno 325ic with 225/50/15's she handles great.
16's seem to be the perfect compromise for e30's.
here's my Delphi325iC on 16, 17 and 18's she's on H&R coilovers and can still drop another 1 1/2 inches
then Zinno on 15 euro weabes and m3 springs, perfect for everyday driving...
headlights pic is with Zinno on OEM springs and 15 weaves
