$30 US on eBay.

Overall I think the US-spec cluster is superior, because it displays both MPH and KPH in the speedo. The Euro/Canadian-spec only shows KPH.

Furthermore, I prefer the US-way of measuring consumption (mpg).

However I don't like the "unleaded fuel only" label in the fuel guage. You'd have to be an idiot to need to know that. I don't even know where you could buy leaded gas for your X5 even if you wanted to.

Not sure why you would want to show miles instead of km in Canada (you show your location as Edmonton), but are you aware of the Federal Weights and Measures Act? Odometers, as well as standards around SI units of measure, are both covered. Most of the regulations apply to traders (you need to be engaged in a business using a scale, etc) but odometer rules specifically apply to all persons, not just traders.
