How to check if the car is being tuned?

[Swann]

Hi, I have taken over 2010 318 LCI and would like to know if whether my car ECU or transmission or engine has been tuned or mapped by the previous owner. Is it possible for workshops to check on this?

Thanks in advance for the inputs

If not claiming warranty, they will not bother to catch

Highly Unlikely the engine was tuned to an extent that is detectable by a dyno due to it being a naturally aspirated engine. Im not sure there are piggybacks for a naturally aspirated engine available as well. Transmission wise I'm not sure if the 6 speed can even be flashed.
