The car was in the dealer about 6 months ago and they gave me a price of $1500 on the extended maintenance. I brought the car in yesterday and they gave me a price of $2000. Ouch! At that price it is bordering on not worth it.
Is is possible that the price has escalated like that? I did some reasearch on this site for pricing but the only "offical" pricing guide I could find was from 2004.
My question(s): What is the current right price for this program? Also, do I need to present the car at the dealer to get the maintenance program or can I call around state to state and do it over the phone? Anyone have a dealer suggestion?
I know this topic has been gone over repeatedly but I just wanted to see what the latest information is.
Thanks in advance.

Maintenance plan price was increased last month. Here is some info.

The dealership has quite a markup on this so shop around and you can do a LOT better than 2G's.
One example is BMW Mini of South Atlanta, GA (TwinKidneyGrill) - they seem to consistently have the lowest price for extended maintenance. Here is their website and they are quoting $1,345 for the 2yr extended maintenance for the X5.

Some dealers will tell you that they need the vehicle to be present.
You do not need to send the folks at TwinKidneyGrill your key - just VIN and mileage.
Good luck
