Re: 323 front struts
they fit.
difference is in a diameter.

Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car. Oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall. Torque is how far you take the wall with you.

Re: 323 front struts
the 323i struts are 51mm as opposed to 45mm on your 316 you will need to use your 323i hub if the bearing is bigger

Re: 323 front struts
Not that simple. You will need to fit a 323 strut housing to the 316 or any other model for that matter. The 323 front suspenion is unique.
