Thanks for the post, some good comments there. I was very impressed with the towing ability of my 3.0 X5 (with less weight than you are pulling), and it seems that it is working well for you. I would try playing around with the weight distribution and see if that fixes the swaying issue. 10% tongue weight is a minimum, 12% is better, in my experience.
Withidl continues to be the grand champion on the board, pulling his Airstream with a 4.4, but your experience with a 3.0 should make some stop and think about the capabilities of the X5.
Not much help for you with the LED lights, but you may want to try a trailer supply store instead of the dealer, as they may have some ideas. My fast blinking problem was all with U-Haul trailers, no LED lights involved, and was always fixed with a proper ground wire instead of relying on the hitch itself.
Cheers
Jeff
