I'm not sure if in your country there are tax benefits to going below 2.0 but I know in lots of Europe there is so perhaps this is to meet specific regulations?
I would assume it's the B38. The 20 designation usually indicates ~190 hp so maybe it'll be something like 100-110 hp petrol plus 80-90 hp electric. Which sound low for a heavy car like the 5 series...
