i don't think there is anything you can check

mine looked like this on the inside (it shouldn't have the black plastic chip holder though if it's standard

ye, import ecus never had them chip ports as standard. only uk ones did
you have to solder them in your self

but, the ecu where you plug the pins in. has a little blue sticker
that has some numbers on, this should match the main sticker on the front

mo point in buying a z4 and then adding a chip, may as well just put the chip in the one you have. no difference.
