Run it's vin number. But black chrome exhaust would be the first thing, some non cp have the tips now and some cp owners have swapped out their exhaust systems so no real way except to run the vin.

Thats another way to tell, but if they didnt get these wheels then the exhaust tips is the other way to tell.

VIN only way. Many of us elected to get the 343 rims with CP.

Leaving someone at the lights would be a visual clue. How else would you know you had left someone at the lights?

Woah did you smell that non cp m5 get left at the lights.

Although I agree only a visual clue in a very specific use case

Other than black chrome tailpipe tips and wheels, the CP is 1cm lower. So, you need to have a good eye unless you had the two side by side. If you have a good eye then you could also tell by looking to see if it has a more direct steering ratio.
