Vin to find what the car came with?

Is there a free way to find out what a particular car car came with what options? Local deal posts a car with the vin but nothing listed under options. I find that hard to believe for the 2021 330e costing 50k.

I have found that lately most vin decoders don't seem to work or they want $$

mdecoder sometimes works and sometimes just gives you a message that you used up your available free service and now have to pay. I just tried it and it worked fine, hopefully that will continue.

The VIN won’t show all of the options on the car

The decoder should show all the major options on the vehicle as well as a lot, if not all, of the standard features. Here is an example of an mdecoder for a VIN I pulled from a dealer's website:

Many folks, including myself, have tried that and it didn't work. I also tried on multiple computers. They got rid of their free service for awhile or at least had problems with it.
