You don't really.
I would guess you could try and check the serial numbers on the chipsets but that would be bloody hard to find which ones were put in.

Just put it in and go for a drive and see if you notice any difference i know i did when i swapped mine.

a question i have aksed myself. nothing to stop someone buying one, swapping the cases with a 240 ps version and then selling on as a z4 again.
as said though, the boost pressure would be a giveaway for the new buyer.

Just plug it in and check, it only takes a few minutes. Disconnect battery though, just in case, you don't want to damage it.

being thick plug in ecu and check what???

Well just go drive it. Have you got a boost gauge? Check what it boosts before and after. If you haven't got a gauge you should be able to tell the difference also.
