N55 Manual Transmission Question

Hey, quick question...

I have a 2011 N55 MT and just hit 8k miles. Ive noticed a bit of a wiggle in the gearshifter and didnt think much of it, but now its kinda bugging me. What I mean is the up and down wiggle (eg: 1st to 2nd, 3rd to 4th). Lets say I engage 4th gear, release the clutch and drive normal. I am able to wiggle the gearstick up and down atleast .60 to .80 of an inch up and down, without pressing the cluth still in gear, not actually shifting. Is this normal?? Im used to some play in cars being over 100k miles thats normal. but this??

Took her to the dealer and the tech said it has quite a bit more play than normal, but is not defective so no warranty fix. Can future damages occur? Just accept? PS I live in germany. Dealers different

Thank you
