I just bought a 2013 Bakers Street edition yesterday and still reeling from the thought of finally owning one (Yay me!).
I just had a question if it is possible to replace the radio with one that streams music from my phone. Right now it only allows bluetooth phone calls. If yes, how difficult is it and do y'all have any suggestions in terms of brand?
You will find an immense amount of information on your car here between the threads, the members and the vendors. If you have not already done so may I suggest you check out the Navigation & Audio Folder in the Gen2 section here as there are well over 1,600 threads about radios and navigation.

Thank y'all in advance
When I purchased mine (which the kiddos have cleverly dubbed "Cooper"... I just don't grasp where they came up w/ that name ), it had a Kenwood KDC-BT365U in it. The external mic for BT calls is clipped to the top of the A pillar trim (boy I hope that never gets embedded in my face courtesy of an air bag). Console controls work great w/ Amazon music and Pandora on my Nougat based phone and this head unit lets you dial in LED colors, so it looks pretty close to factory when my dash lights are on. I'll try to remember to snap a pic next time I'm in it when its dark out.
Welcome to NAM! Bakers Street edition, very nice! Would love to see some pictures. If you have any questions along the way of your MINI ownership please do not hesitate to shoot me a PM.
With the way the light emanates, the color looks closer in person.... but, that said, you can customize the LED colors in the headlight to your desire (including setting the various display zones different colors).
