F30 335i LCI SOP 07/15. Re-engine with B58B30M0 for 335i.
F30 328E LCI SOP 11/15. Introduction of 328E with XB1141M0.

As far as I can tell, yes.

Do we have any more info on why B58 is an improvement (power, weight, economy, etch)? Do we know anything more on XB1141? (I did Google, but didn't find much, except our threads in these forums.)

B58 should add 20-30hp. It's likely the emphasis is still on economy, with just enough power increase to remain competitive.
The PHEV powertrain is a B48 motor with a still unknown electric motor added.
