List of options, colors, wheels, etcetera by year?

I'm thinking of buying an R53. Is there a list or chart somewhere, here or elsewhere on the net, that lists everything available for each year. I'd hate to buy a car, only to find out that the single coolest thing ever made, for any car ever, was available as an option but I didn't get one because I didn't know they existed.

I think they stayed pretty consistent on available options. Think major changes came on facelift cars (2005-2006)

When buying used, it’s not always possible to be super particular on options. That said, some of the preferred options came later, in 2005 and 2006. These include limited slip differential, anthracite headliner, updated Xenons, factory JCW with 210 HP. Also, it’s nice to have a full set of toggle switches with no missing items.

A lot of your questions can be answered here: https://libraryofmotoring.info/

Good luck in your search.
