I like my 2020 530e so much, I'm considering getting another one to replace my 2017 330e when it's lease tolls at the end of June. If the LCI were to get the 5th gen battery and/or the 5th gen motor/control tech, I'd hold off. Otherwise, it's going to be close-out shopping for me.

Makes sense and I can see it happening if the size and weight aren't changing. We should have some solid details around May/June I think.
