BMW does not make significant/visible changes to models from one production year to another. Only when the LCI (Life Cycle Impulse) models come along are the changes visible. This usually comes around 4-5 years into the 7 year model life.
That's calendar years rather than crazy 'model years', so we might expect an LCI X3 to be unveiled in calendar 2014/5.
It can come earlier. The first gen 1 series LCI came out in 2007, less than 3 calendar years after its introduction in summer 04. The 1er was a totally new produce line though and was not without its teething problems, the LCI was also the test bed for efficient dynamics technologies (I have a late 2007 118d LCI which was the original Efficient Dynamics model)
