Wondering why the F30 has that hood line ? COST REASONS. If you have a small accident, the hood will save itself from the damage because there is a hard frame just below that hood line, and the insurance company (and ultimately you) doesn't have to replace your entire hood.
Wondering why the F30 has plastic oil pan (how stupid can this be ?), steel front subframe (instead of aluminium like e90) and full steel rear subframe (instead of half aluminium like the e90) ? The same cost reasons.
