Just a bit of caution:
You said you want a good audio system, right? If you're not going with aftermarket audio, you'll want the Harman Kardon upgrade in the 325. Unfortunately, you can't get the HK and the BMW Nav system simultaneously. Also, some people on bimmer.org have expressed some dissatisfaction with the BMW nav system, so I would guess that aftermarket nav might be better.
The 325i (dunno about the Ci) doesn't have an armrest either unless you get the Premium Package (again, I dunno if an armrest is a stand-alone option & climate control isn't standard either, if that matters).
A 325Ci is a pretty decent bargain (IMHO), but you can't go wrong with either car. Probably the best thing to do is test drive both (the cars AND the dealers) and then decide. Oh, and another thing...a good deal on a 3-series is $1500 over invoice.
