Buying used 2009-2010 135i "Options Question?"

I am looking to get back into a 135i and have been searching all over for a relatively affordable used 2009-2010 135i. The problem I am having is that allot of dealers don't have the window sticker, therefore it is a complete guess as to what options the car has.

Ford has a website where you can type in the vin# and it builds/reproduces the window sticker showing the exact options.

Is there anyway to do this with BMW?

Sometimes if you ask nice over in the 3 series forum someone can find out the options based on VIN for free. I couldn't find any generous souls when I was shopping so I used this website:

I really am surprised there is no where online that will decode the vin# down to the options without have to pay a service.

I spoke with the service manager @ Bay Shore BMW and he was nice enough to give me the whole run down of options on the car, along with the original MSRP and revealed any service records which there happen to be minimal.
