The power dome in the E9XM cars was functional. The engine in the F8X cars clearly fits under the bonnet without a dome, so it's highly unlikely that BMW will add a cosmetic power dome after the fact.

Did they ever go away?

The F30/31/35 and F32/33 won't get their LCIs at the same time. If the launch of the sedan and coupe are staggered by 18 months, then so will their refreshes. The only question will be whether or not the F36 Gran Coupe gets its own LCI or if it will be tied with the F32/33 refresh.

I would love to get an idea of what an M2 might look like.
For what it's worth, the E90M and E92M share the same differences in proportion that you mention above, so I wouldn't be surprised if that carries over to the F80 and F82.
