Unless the government mandates or competition gets crazy; there won't be an extension unless you pay.
Now the 3500lbs is interesting. They already do that in the 5 and 7 series.
They just haven't deemed it cost effective.

G20 330i ICE curb weight should be around 3500-3600lb, which is what Tesla Model 3 SR targets too.
F30 328i and F30 330i till 2017 has 15 years/150000 miles
PZEV emission warranty, but PZEV expires in 2018.
Starting 2018, 15 years/150000 miles
TZEV emission warranty is available for F30 330e and G20 330e PHEV.
These lucrative emission warranties cover lots of expensive components, but are only available in PZEV/TZEV states(CA is one of them).
The covered components are more extensive than 8 years/80000 miles CA emission warranty.
E.g. timing chain of 2016 N26 and 2017 B46 and 2018 B48(PHEV) are covered under PZEV/TZEV for 15 years/150000 miles, that is a very very big deal.
