Question Used X5, few questions

My husband and I just bought a used 2000 X5 and after we got home we noticed a few things. After looking in the Owner's Manual, there are a few things missing.
1. First aid kit and drawer. Under the seat is nothing but wiring. Is this something that can be ordered?

2. The red light on the rear view mirror doesn't work. Is this a bulb that is easily replaced?

3. The computer under the spedometer...some of the letters aren't showing. Is this possible to fix?

4. There is no front license plate holder. Is the dealer supposed to provide this? And, the rear license plate holder has two screws holding it on instead of four. Found out today that these screws are special screws and not carried in our local auto parts store.

5. The tilt steering wheel goes forward and back, but not up and down. My husband thinks possibly we need to have the brake applied for this to function.

We thought we had checked this car over very thoroughly, even talking with the mechanics that serviced this vehicle for the original owner, carfax and such. There are other problems that we were aware of, such as tinting problems (probably aftermarket) and wheel alignment.

If you have any suggestions or ideas what we can do to either replace the parts as cheaply as possible, or to repair the things ourselves, please let us know

Thank you in advance!
