After doing little research, I thought I would be clear of the timing chain issue by buying an X3 28i from the 2015 model year. I was looking for the 2011 (N52) model, but couldn't find one without high mileage of course, so opted for either the 35i or a 28i from 2015. Ended up with a CPO 2015 X3 28i currently at about 33k mi.
With the amount of engine failure experiences (and plaintiffs), I do hope a recall will be in effect soon. Doesn't seem like ANYONE had any success with BMW fixing/replacing the engine because of the timing chain issue.
