High hood line, and rounded integrated front bumper/grill.. Look at the Camry and the Yaris, and you can see that they have been designed to do well for NCAP tests evident from a pedestrian safety point of view.  The E90 M tech front bumper is a nightmare for pedestrian legs/ankles. Its sharp, and hard right at the middle lower rediator air scoop base and sticks out to take out those ankles like a knife heh. I read that the facelifted E90 will be addressing better NCAP pedestrian safety considerations. So the bumper design and possible a new engine hood will be seen the the facelift.</blockquote>
