A combined relativistic configuration interaction and second order many-body purterbation theory is applied to calculate the wavelengths of 3\to 2 transitions of L-shell Fe and Ni ions. A comparison of calculated n=2 level energies with experimental results indicates that these levels are accurate to within ~pm 0.1 eV. The calculated 3\to2 transition wavelengths of L-shell Fe ions are compared with the expiremental measurements from Lawrence Livermore electron beam ion traps. It is found that the second order many-body purterbation corrections improve the wavelengths significantly over the standard relativistic configuration interaction calculations. A complete table of 3\to 2 line list is presented for L-shell ions of Fe and Ni, with estimated wavelength uncertainties of < 10 m{Å}. Such a table is expected to be useful in X-ray spectral analysis of a wide variety of astrophysical sources.
