You could do with asking the dimensions of them. As far as i know the 323 shocks are larger than the other models. Wizor should hopefully be along shortly!

It's a very bad advert! 320 and 316 are interchangeable since they use the small struts. 323i use the bigger struts. As Gonzo says you should be ok, 42mm should be the smaller shock size
