are the headrests really different?!

OMG F30 better in crash test than e30!

I don't understand why this is surprising. They don't just add features every few years, they try to make things a little bit better for everyone.

Yea they are.. But i like my 07 E92 headrests better, but i guess the E90 LCI ones are safer.

All due to the active head restraints on 09+

It's not all bad. At least you don't have the admonition in your manual that removal of the headrests should only be done by someone who follows BMW service techniques and possesses the appropriate explosives license.
