325i Sedan vs 328xi Wagon rear brake differences?

I used to have a 2006 325i Sedan (E90). I bought a brake overhaul kit for the 325i when I still had it, but didn't use the rear pads and discs. I've since sold the 325i, and the 328xi wagon that I've got is going to need new rear brakes soon.

Will the stuff from the 325i rear brakes fit the 328xi rear?

e91 328xi should have larger parking brake shoes so the disk probably won't fit. Not sure about the brake pads. Is possible. Run the part numbers on realoem.com to compare.

Well the pads are a different part number 2006 vs 2011. The caliper is the same part number though, which is really confusing.

Is normal to have different part numbers on pads as they go thru revisions regularly.
If caliper is same part number then the pads will fit.
The caliper however has nothing to do with the parking brake shoes!

Cool, sounds like I just need new rotors and can use the same pads.
