kevinator9 52 Report post Posted March 20, 2011 I would like to be able to decode the VIN on my BMW to reveal the options that it left the factory with. I had a look for the build sheet under the back seat but no luck I have found out general info via the VIN such as manufacture year/month place etc. Anyone how to decode the VIN to show the options list (or if it is even possible?). Many Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
