That would mean the F80 will have been on sale in the US for just under two years before its LCI is introduced. And if history of the E92M and F10M is any indication, the ZCP will be tied to that LCI as well.

tl;dr: It's a safe bet to count on the LCI and ZCP about 20-22 months after the F80 is available for sale in the US.
Interesting news in the top slot of bimmerpost homepage today:

F30 LCI is already in the production pipeline. Looks like the 20-22 delay between the launch of the F80 M3 and the introduction of the LCI and ZCP is fairly accurate.

Edit: It might be an even shorter delay than that. F30 LCI might be out very close to its reveal at the 2015 IAA in Frankfurt.
