Finding a g30 in the right spec - how?

[Ice_blue_tvr]

I've been searching for a 530e specifically but may need to widen the net to include others, however it's almost impossible to find a car that has a good combination of options.

Trawling through autotrader it's quite easy to spot cars that are badly specced as they are almost exclusively advertised as "well specced" or "Fully loaded" but never ever are.

Am I missing something? Iirc you need the cars VIN to figure out the factory options, so not really doable from looking at adverts. The only way seems to be from carefully studying pics of interior for specific buttons and the infotainment menus (if visible).

Ideally I'd really like a car with 360 cameras and/or remote parking, but it's surprising how few even have a reverse camera. Most cars on sale are specced worse than our 15 year old Honda crv?!

Also, do people sell these cars privately anymore? If so where?

BMW's AUC website has a better filtering system than autotrader.

If the age, mileage colour etc suit then retro fitting some options could be err....an option.
