Well a little birdie told (someone in BMW Australia who spent a month in the USA) that knew about my problem told me he drove about 3000 miles in a X5 there and said it drove right, followed the camber of the road.

That's why you need castor bushes to fix the problem, whether its a LHD or a RHD X5, if they pull to the curb it needs adjustment.

Its a simply fix, my AMG Merc has Castor bolts installed and the bolt adjustment suits both lefthand & righthand drive cars, and the wider the wheels you put on the worst it gets.
