Find out if tuned?

Picked up a sweet 228i with an N26. Car has track handling and M sport. Would like to know if one of the two previous owners tuned it since the car seems to have been owned by enthusiasts. Is there any way to do it besides Dyno?

One easy way to tell at least with a BM3 tune is if your sports display max out over 320, I noticed any tune will brake those displays; some other BM3 things at least i know could be a give away.

Exhaust flap is always open; Engine RPM could shoot up to 1.8k to 2k rpm for GTS style startup; Exhaust burble in comfort and sport lasts more than 1 second or starts burbling under 3k

just a few things that could be a giveaway but I doubt anyone selling would leave a BM3 tune on the car because you can resell it and unless they told you why would they throw away money.
