VIN decoder with options list?

Does anyone know of a vin decoder that lists the options. I am looking at a mini jcw that is not mobile and I want to see if it has LSD differential from factory.

Honestly feels like most VIN decoders are pretty unreliable lately unless you can get the original build sheet. You can check the monroney sticker https://carfast.express/en/window_sticker for your R56, it shows all factory options, trim, and equipment, just like the original dealer window sticker.
