In conclusion, my independent mechanic with many years of experience took one look at the pulley and said – "that is not an issue at all. I've seen BMWs with way more wobble in the crankshaft pulley than that and I've never seen any break. Before it becomes a real problem, you will feel the vibration and other manifestations of the problem. However, I have seen Mercedes pulleys break...." So, I spent my money on new spark plugs and a power steering fluid flush instead! Go figure. Have a happy Thanksgiving and thanks for your feedback.

PS: Cool that Pelican weighed in on the part. But kinda big brother, too!
