Not a big jump in peak power but a significant increase in torque. Should be an even better drive.

Yes I can see the 530i going from 258 pounds feet of torque to 295 or thereabouts.
With that said, I have driven the G20 330i with the "Improved" B48 and to be honest it doesn't feel substantially faster or torquier compared to the B48 in my 2017 530i.
I would think there could also be a change in gear ratios on the G30 530i LCI.
