And the 25kg weight-save will help handling too...
So they'll be able to put the battery under the bonnet (hood) and we'll be able to eat more burgers and keep more fuel in the tank.

Indeed! On a serious note the weight savings are at the already-heavy front end so it should be noticeable!

what about the non Diesel cars?
do they get an upgrade?
The 530i will probably get direct injection, resulting in a small power & torque increase. Some say the V8 in the 540i will be replaced by the 3.0 twin-turbo.

Congrats, and welcome. I can't help with your question, but I hope all is OK from your point of view.

So does the current 535d have less of "50-50 weight distribution"?

Maybe I need to start carrying luggage (or even a spare wheel)...
