Is this because BMW already delayed launching the G series M3 to the point that they have to now jump straight to an LCI G series M3?
Are there exterior updates expected?

F80 LCI v1 came a year after launch. I know I had a first /500 car and was really annoyed the second year model was a LCI. This updated the F80 to the refreshed LCI F30 spec - eg new tail lights.
F80 LCI v2 came a year again after that (so 2 years out from initial launch). This brought the F80 LCI into line with the just released F82 LCI and improved chassis tuning (eg. new front halo lights).
My lesson from this - never buy a first year M3. As long as BMW insists on holding back launch for the M4 initial M3 buyers suffer depreciation hits and fast deprecated car designs.
