It's my understanding that, unlike the Sports Package on my 128i, the X3's Sports Activity Package doesn't change the suspension on the X3 28i. The Sports Activity Package's 245/50R18 tires should improve the handling a bit over the standard 245/55R17 's. I say "should" because I haven't been able to actually drive one with the Sports Activity Package - only without.

For me, and my wife agrees, the sports seats are the main reason for getting the Sports Activity Package. I suggest you spend some time sitting in both types of seats yourself before you decide.
I heard no way on the 4 cylinder for 2012. Only in Europe. N20 engine N/A in US until 2013 model year
