So I have been trying to figure out all the options that came on one of my e30's. I know back in the day someone linked to a website that was able to pull all the options that came on the car using the vin. The original link in that thread does not work anymore so I was wondering if anyone knew of a website or a way to obtain the info I am looking for?

I don't think you will get option codes like on newer BMWs - it is possible to pull options I think from somewhere else (BMW Classic?), but E30s are much more basic and the codes were not standardized back then.
If you want to know where all this comes from, it's actually the ETK database (the same one used for parts searches). Since none of the sites I can find list options for E30s, and they are all certainly using the ETK, I have to conclude that it's not possible to list individual options on the older BMWs because they're not in the database, or what is there is limited.
For example, mine says AT (but that comes directly from the VIN, not the options), Sterling-silber paint (244), and gray leather (0292), but that's it.
