I currently own a 2019 440i and bought this car in July of 2023. At the time I didint know, but the car had and still has a stage 3 xHP tune on it. It was there the day I drove off the lot. Would I be eligible for some kind of price reduction or money back?

Does the transmission tune bother you that much??

Unless they documented in the paperwork that it specifically did NOT have a transmission flash then I'd imagine you're SOL.
That's like arguing it had an aftermarket part. So what, it's a used car. The best you could hope for I guess is them flashing it back to stock settings. How did you find out about the flash? |

Unless it was certified preowned by a BMW dealer, you won’t get any money back.

With an unapproved modification of any kind which is not registered in the paperwork, one invalidates the roadworthiness of a vehicle in Europe. Hence the previous owner sold a non-roadworthy vehicle, without declaring it, which is a crime. This is how it would work in Germany and most other countries around. This is not the same as replacement of parts with non-OEM parts as long as they are considered analogue alternatives to the original ones (CE-marking). (Even knowing the car HAD a tune and not declaring it when selling is considered a fraud...)
