Question on Speedometer conversion

Hi All,

I just purchased a new to me 2017 X5M that was originally a Canadian market car. It has been in the states since 2019, but the instrument cluster seems a bit odd and I was hoping I could do something to correct it. the analog Speedometer has MPH numbers, but all the tick-marks around the speedometer align with KPH positions, and the Cruise control info on the digital area below shows cruise speed in KPH (which i can't change in iDrive). I am able to get all the other displays in US Standard units (even on HUD). also, when I toggle speed up or down on the cruise, it moves in 1KPH increments (not 1MPH increments). This is pretty minor, but i was wondering if this can be fixed with coding or am i just stuck?

Also, has any ever seen a speedometer that was configured this way? Was this likely just modified before import to change the gauge face for the speedo and putting everything back together? Could i get a used US cluster and have it virginized and reinstalled into the car with some programming and be good? Also, would that have to be done by the dealer, or could I use tools on my own to code the cluster to the car with equipment from one of the programming / coding retailers?

This is literally day 2 of me owning a BMW, so i apologize for asking questions if they have been answered. I tried searching as much as possible before I broke down and made a post.
