Should my DISA have this much play?

Okay so I've been trying to track down the source of my misfire's in my '01 325i. Yesterday was the worst as it threw 2 P0300 on top of the constant P1345 & P1353 its been throwing lately. I started with the obvious and replaced a crack coil pack & put in new NGK Iridium plugs which greatly smoothed everything out. I cleared the codes, put some fuel system/injector cleaner (suspected a stuck injector & bad gas), filled up with fresh Shell 91 V-Power and took it for a good burn. The car felt way more responsive and pulled effortlessly across the rev range & didn't throw any CEL's. When coming to a stop, when I clutch in and let the revs drop, they fall all the way down to 500 - 900 before settling at 750ish (or whatever normal idle is), and also starts to run rough. When I got home both P1345 & P1353 were shown as 'pending' but never tripped the CEL.



I then remembered the PO had told me there might be an issue with a butterfly valve that caused a rough idle at times for him so I went straight for the DISA. Also noticed its out of a 2004 325xi (yay junkyard writing... hello red flag!). Pulled it out and the amount of play in it seems to be excessive to me (click below for video). The O Ring was still really tight though.







If this is 'normal' jfoj's thread has helped me establish a few good places to start looking at maybe tomorrow.
