I would at least get a 328 , they are pretty affordable , they already come with more power, there is a pretty decent amount of mods available for cheap that can make the car around 300 hp at the crank ( 230-250whp). NA reliability .
I can understand the fear of getting an older turbocharge 335 , as they can get pretty expensive on maintenance , etc ,etc ,etc but a 6MT RWD 328 should be pretty fun to drive .
I would even consider a 330 MT
The main problem with the 323 is that aside from being a bit under power , there isn't much aftermarket support, all the available MODs are directed to the 335 and 328 . I know the 323 and 328 share some parts , but I have seen guys coming with 323 models asking questions about tuning , parts compability , etc ,etc and they do not get much help just because the vast majority either drives a 328 or 335
Just keep that in mind , but if you are happy with the 323 then go for it
