Drive belt shifting/movement ??

Purchased drive belt kit from FCP Euro. Replaced 3 idler pulleys and belt tensioner. Belt seems to shift a lot on pulley for Coolant pump. Is that normal? 2007 e63. Video attached.

No that does not seem right...

I also made some videos because my crank pulley had a slight wobble during idling, but that seems to be normal. I will see if I can post that anytime soon.

Could you remove the belt and feel the shaft play of the waterpump? If it has too much play, then replace the waterpump.

Thx. I didn't think that was normal, but it wasn't making any unusual noises. I'll remove the belt and check the other pulleys. The old belt did snap on me while driving it. Guess there's a good chance there was damage to one of the other pulleys

That might be highly likely and worth checking
