Hi guys needing some advice if possible.
Had my valve cover done on my 2015 125i and asked about my water pump , thermostat and timing chain.

My mechanic check the chain and said it was within specs. Had a tiny bit of wiggle up top but said spec wise it’s fine.

I’ve check it on a cold day before starting through the oil cap and can move it side to side and lift it abit.

Also he did a leak down test / coolant flush and said the water pump was fine. I was wondering if this is normal and if I shouldn’t worry about changing either as of yet car has 164,000kms for reference.
And I’ve attached a video ( bad quality from him checking ) and also a video of the cold start
Any advice would Be great !
Chain at mechanic.
