The picture showing the mounting of the IMS bearing is below. The shop that replaced the clutch and RMS took the photo for me because I had a hard time believing it, too.

From the number, the engine is a 3.2L rebuilt in 2004, and you have the oversized non serviceable IMS bearing, which you can tell alone from the 22MM center bolt in the photo. Yours is the first one I have ever seen in that early an engine, and yet another example of why you cannot necessarily trust normal records and guidelines, but have to take the car apart and look once your find the "AT" (Austausch or "exchange" in German) marking in the engine number sequence.
