You're checking via BMW VIN decoder?

The M Performance Package is not that common since it was only offered for 1 year. Along with the bump in power, M Performance added gloss black exhaust tips and aluminum pedals, so that would be an indicator as well for someone who isn't using a VIN decoder. M Sport is purely cosmetic, but is also required for M Performance to be added.

I don't believe you can add the specific M Performance tune, but there are many other tunes out there for the 50i that will add more HP/TQ than M Performance. Dinan recently slashed their tune price from $3K to $926 - it's rated at 494 HP/579 TQ.
