Well, that's not exactly true. M cars do get LCI, it's just not as extensive. In some cases LCI doesn't get a new model code (E46) in some cases they do (E9x).
Looks like F8x will not get a new model code for the LCI, but I bet some external modifications are coming.
LCIs never spawn a new model code. E90/E92/E93 kept the same model code through the LCI.

New model code = new generation of the model (i.e. all new car)
LCI = Life Cycle Injection (refresh of the existing model)
