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.

They will have a 550e and M560e in US. M560e is also a B58 based I6 with higher tune from the gas engine - total 570hp. Not sure if the 530e will come to US but I would bet no.
