Feature chart by VIN

Trying this the nicer way...

I'm in the market for an e60 and looking at a LOT of VINS, I want to have a rough idea of what it entails without having to plug each VIN in separately. Does anyone have the following for e60?

Yes another VIN info request, all previous attempts led me to Vin Decoder websites. Ironically this is the one time I'm looking for something more manual. Odd request I know...

Also looking to get rid of my 2011 e92 N55 if anyone's interested.

David Bromberg once sang "You have to SUFFER if you want to sing the blues." Good luck with someone helping you with that attitude.

Sorry, Came off a little cheekier than intended. I guess I was proactively tying to fend off the 'did you search' mob that seems to lie in wait

Wouldn't it be easier to just use a vin decoder website, just put in the last 7 of the vin and hit enter. It will tell you everything the car has.

Indeed. I've tried this but there are a lot of e60's for sale in the market and locally available. I'd like to look at glance and be able to discern or just key on a few characters to sift through quickly.

Like there's around 15-30 e60 in my area that could be fare game. I want to key on certain things like sound system, sports package etc... if I can.

Using the website I'd probably have to keep the corresponding tab open plus the link to the car I'm looking at. Gets hairy pretty quickly if you know what I mean

When I was looking I went straight to the shifter pics and looked for the sport button. If it has that it has the paddle shifters and other sport items. If one had that I then started checking the other options. Stick shifts are so rare you can look at every one of them in one glance.
