I don't think it's valved any different than standard B8 models. Wouldn't make sense to.

But yeah, B8, for an X5, you have to look across the atlantic for those.
It seems the general consensus is the struts are available in Europe. Is there any way to confirm this? Has this been done before? Any advice on how i can track down a vendor that carries them over there?
