Decode your BMW VIN including factory option list

[87E30VERT]

Just picked up my first E30 last weekend and was searching for a (detailed) VIN Decoder. I couldn't seem to find an active one on this forum so I wanted to share this with everyone:

Here is the link to the thread at E30Performance.info:

The instructions seem to have changed a bit since originally posted in 2009 but it still works if you play around with it.

Note: At times the site loads in German instead of English...I have no idea why.

Here is mine:

Nice. Once i switched the ASAP portal to english i was able to find the options list. Pretty cool.

I use this one:

Works great for looking up options on cars at the junkyard before I even bother going.

Looks like a dead link currently.
