Been in this very situation 3 years ago with an approved Audi from local dealer.
I went to Audi UK and they helped me resolve it with said dealer.
Albeit I did manage to get proof of the work from the local Revo dealer which certified I hadn’t carried out the work as it was 12 months before I bought the car.

I never had an issue with the car, just that when i took it in for a service, they informed me my warranty was void, due to it be mapped. They obviously didn’t pick it up at the pre sales preparation!

Took around 6 months to finally resolve but all was good in the end and I negotiated an extra years warranty.

Hello,

I am looking for help to gather evidence of when my M2 (2017) has had its DME unit modified, aka when it was remapped / chipped.

I am very much looking to understand the details around how to evidence WHEN it has been modified. Not IF it has, as I have already discovered it has been modified.

The reason I ask is that my M2 is a used car, and the previous owner is not taking responsibility for selling it to me having been modified, and not announcing it had been modified at the point of sale.

I have not had any luck when speaking to private garages nor BMW dealerships / service centres

Thank you for any help!

This is my first post on the forum, apologies if this topic has already been raised as I could not see it.

UPDATE:
I should have mentioned originally, the car is from an approved used BMW dealership, so BMW have been unhelpful in helping provide such evidence of when it occurred!

Is it black and does the original reg end YTY?
