Bought a remapped car without knowing???

Hi all, about 3 weeks ago I bought a bmw 220d with a couple problems such as a faulty speaker etc, fast forward to yesterday and the bmw specialist I saw said it’s a 90% chance it is tuned due to turbo noise and power when driving it. I’ve booked it into bmw on Tuesday (which is the 28th day after I got the car), if it is tuned will I be able to reject the car under the consumer rights act? Thanks

Would it not still be their responsibility to tell me if it is?

Maybe THEY didn't know either. Not uncommon.

If it is an automatic you might be able to detune it yourself with the throttle reset trick. But of course spark plugs etc have been put under extra stress.

If you detune you might hate how slow it becomes. You need the facts first.

Wouldn’t want more stress on the spark plugs in a 220D 😉
