Harmonic balancer 101
Idler pulleys, tensioner, the works. 2003 M62 4.6. After completing everything, I noticed that my harmonic balancer is not perfectly true. Perhaps I watch to many Jet engines that are balanced to the nearest nano gram. I thought the balancer should rotate perfectly. I have zero belt problems or any vibrations. Am I overthinking this?

If you're not getting any vibrations or odd sounds then you should be fine. Though for what it's worth it's not super hard to remove/replace the harmonic balancer— you just remove the belts and undo 8 bolts on the harmonic balancer and it comes right off. You don't have to touch the big crank bolt at all.
The trouble is finding a replacement— most will be the same given the age and mileage of these cars. A new one is around $500. If it's not causing any problems then just leave it as it is.
