Although engine size is different the 325 runs the M50B25 first produced in 1991. The 323 runs the M52B25 produced in 1995 to replace the M50.

More info can be found here.

According to the above sources the M50 produced more power.

Both are 2.5L. The 325 has more HP from the factory while the 323 is restricted from the factory (single exhaust). M52 is a better engine, more torque down low.

I would say get the 323, but of course you should drive both to see for yourself.
