In the comments at the link above someone posted a picture of the 328d specs from the Montreal show.

Unfortunately, they seem inaccurate as the poster pointed out. And I agree with them on both points a) the N57 I6 in 330d form is single turbo so it does not make sense that an even lesser 328d tune would be twin turbo (why balloon costs for no reason?) and b) no 3L turbo diesel is going to make only 295 ft-lb torque.

I suspect that this may be an N47 TT I4 tuned to 240hp. The 295 ft-lb figure would then make sense. We'll see - hopefully soon.
