E stands for Entwicklung or "development" and refers to a body style, not an engine. Your '06 325 is an E90.

Your CAR is an E90, this is the chassis code or model designation. Therer are many different versions of the 3 Series cars, mine is the E36, the E46 is the model that followed, and yours is the E90.
The ENGINE code is different. My engine is the M50, my chassis also gets the M52 as the two 6 cylinder offerings. The M cars get the S50 and S52, and the
4 bangers get the M42 and M44. I'm not certain which motor you get, but my instinct is that it shoujld be the M52.
