I understand that, and I know the bearing itself is the only reason most people even know that the M96 has an IMS. It just seems to me like if there was a way to eliminate the IMS all together, you would be better off, and in-fact, other manufacturers have been able to. Now if you are saying that there is a possibility that the current design of the 9A1 would have benefited from having an IMS, I can't argue because I can honestly say I have absolutely zero experience with that engine, but based on what Subaru (just an example) has done with their engines, I don't see why Porsche wouldn't have the ability to make it work too.
