Newbe with questions

Yesterday I became a 2007 Mini Cooper S owner. I got in the car and drove almost 300 miles home and I think I need some knowledgable help. I understand that the 07 S has a 6 speed auto; I think the one I bought has a 4 spped auto. is this possible?
A few things that I didn't check was the built in garage door opener. It doesn't have one. Can I install an OEM unit. The radio also doesn't appear to have XM?? Can I install an oem unit. The telephone has wiring, (I guess) Can I hook it up to my Cell phone? Am I just being rediculous wanting these things in a used car.
I had never driven one before taking this one and I think that I am going to enjoy the car and doing the things that I do to a vehicle to make it mine.
What do I need to look out for? what are some of the things that most change or modify on the car.
I know that I have ask a lot. Any answers are welcome.

Grats on the new Mini ! most of your questions can be answered by just browsing the vast NAM forums and doing specific searches as well.

Good luck with future mods

Welcome, yes you can add the garage door mirror. I'll have to get you a price if you need.
You can also add the XM no problem.
As for the phone, invest in a good bluetooth, the factory kit isn't perfect.
