They will find out when you get involved in an accident, and the police takes your car for checking. So in 90+ percent of all cases, they will never know.

Sometimes the government guys even surf around in car forums and see which cars they should for illegal upgrades next MOT.

BMW will also know if the engine management is tampered with, and they will deny warranty unless it is an official BMW product.
