Harmonic balancer or vibration damper?

I guess it's a vibration damper because that's what BMW calls it. I've always thought the dual mass flywheel was the more effective harmonic balancer in the system.

crank hub doubles as a harmonic balancer. I would start looking to get that replaced.

damn. thats what i was scared of.

thanks for the input.
