The 30e spec is for the current gen, which is being replaced next year. It sounds like the new 5 will have two PHEVs, at least in Europe; a 550e and a 530e. They will share the same 19.4 kWh battery (slightly smaller than the X5? Or maybe that’s usable v gross capacity?) and 194 hp electric motor (same as the X5). The difference is the engine, with the 30 using the 2 liter four and the 50 using the 3 liter six.

Both look set to be available in Europe in the spring of ‘24. Not sure which will come to the US.
