depends what years you are talking, the new 328's and x3 2.8's share the same n20 engine
Wikipedia has all the info you need

Yes, except the 2011 models have the "twin power" single turbo 3 liter, which I don't believe suffers from the issues mentioned.

Yup, its a N55 or N20 for both models he was comparing

2011 and 2012 model F25 X3 xdrive28's have a variant of the N52 still.

2013 and up model year F25 X3 xdrive28's have the N20 engine (a 2.0 liter single-twin scroll turbo).
