Sure, the M3 is going to have the front of the 4 series and the LCI will not affect the front (probably), but the part I hate the most about the new 3 series are the rear lights and it's almost a sure thing that they will change it with the LCI (maybe the shape, maybe the lighting technology, maybe both etc.).

The fact that it actually may have 2 LCI steps (like the F80) is another story.
Why not buy the last model year of f80 when there are good deals and it's as good as it's going to get. Then get the LCI of the next gen, waiting out the reviews, bad deals, and first year bugs.
