Personally, I would go for the 320i, sportier and more fuel efficient as you pointed out.
Totally agree with you. I drive a 2005 320ia E90 EURO and I like it very much. The sportfeeling and fuel economy is really good. It has some lack of performance when having passengers, but you are able to give it some tuning tweaks: I replace the stock filter with a Pipercross cylinder-shaped filter(made for 325-335, but I could anyway fit it on my car) and the sound became awesome and deep! And the car now feels more lively.
If you replace the exhaust with an Supersport stainless steel exhaust pipe with 2 mufflers(I like 2, but there about 20 more options on the mufflers) and then the car will be even more powerfull.
These 2 tweaks will increase horsepower by 8-10 and sligthly more torque.
