I guess you are right, my thinking was predicated on the 5-series GT which was a 2010 MY, though the F10 technically came in a few months later as a 2011 MY. I am hopeful that the GT and F10 LCI would come at the same time, which in the 5-series GT case would be a 2014 MY (yr 5 of 7).
One thing BMW is keeping an eye on is increasing market share of competitors, particularly Audi (in the US largely, though also globally). If the F10 starts getting long in the tooth and the relatively newer A6 is continuing to have strong sales, an accelerated 2014 MY LCI may be quite possible.
