The MSRP of either Maintenance or Warranty, may have gone up...
no idea, but one or both are possible and probable.

Some Stlrs will quote MSRP, some quote even higher than MSRP, some
give a better price, on either "product".

Since few/none of us here are wired to or, work at a Stlr, and the
best info available is going to vary from local dlr to local dlr, my
advice is to call around in your area for price quotes on either
ext Maint and/or ext Warr.

For awhile, back when these add on prods. first became available,
BMW NA was promoting that only a "local dlr ' could sell one to
any given customer, so that the mileage, (read: "key read"), could
be done...that has not proven to be always enforced, so one may
be able to buy one of these coverages via phone or net, but YMMV.

Remember:
"Maint" is for brake pads/rotors, oil changes, etc.
"Warr" is for warranty items, non-wear/non-maintenance.

And, the BMW ext Warr. is identical to CPO, in terms of things
covered. 2yrs or the mileage limit: whichever pops up first on
your situ. But, you can't "cpo" your own current car.

Make some calls, let the board know, what you found out...if I knew anymore I would post it.
This topic is coming up on the old jukebox daily, as our cars "age".
