My "hitch guy" here in town, mounted a swivel wheel on the back of a customer's FW and ended up taking it off due to poor handling. Guy didn't want to add weight to the nose, as he was already close to his GVW.
I suppose you could build your own swivel-wheel and mount the wheels a bit forward, then load over them, to reduce the weight on the FW. Not sure how it'd handle, though.

Swivel wheel trailer is much better as only around 50% goes on the back of the 5er. With a lift, it's 100% plus the example was a big heavy structure in itself.
I did see one swivel wheel where they effectively had two axles (4 swivel wheels) and claimed hitch weight (on the 5er) was negligible.
