What he means is, because the M2 will be on hiatus, the M3/M4 will temporarily be the entry level BMW M models.

Is there only going to be one LCI for the M3 taking place next year and that's it for the rest of it's life cycle?

The M3, like every (strictly, nearly every) other BMW gets a single LCI. For M models, this comes in conjunction with their non M sibling(s). In this case that’s the 3 Series. Where the M3 is special is that it forgoes a front end derived from it’s lesser sibling and instead inherits the one from the M4. As a result, it’s face only changes when the M4’s does, which in turn occurs with the 4 Series LCI. So while it looks like two LCIs if you always associate exterior changes with an LCI, in reality BMW does not count it as a second LCI for the M3.
