I heard some people said about some transmision problems in a future if you put 20" on your 5 series. Is this true?

I doubt so. But i'm facing with some problems for the brakes. My rear breaks seems to be giving out some squeaking sound... :'(

I don't think you have to worry about transmission problems but depending on the offset of the wheels the wheel bearings might have to be replaced sooner than with the stock wheels. I've never had a problem with this though and all my cars in the last ten years have had wheels 3-4 inches bigger than stock.

im sure the tranny is built pretty tight. 275/30/20 is only app. 4% bigger than 275/35/18. It ain't gonna affect the strength of the tranny.
