IMS question.

[SeanZ4]

Mike, I have a '00 S with 38k. I went through all the same anxiety that you're going through. I'm a long time bmw driver and always stayed away from the boxsters for the very same thing you're worried about. Do a search of my screen name and you'll find some very good posts from other members back in January to me about my worrying about ims failures. Hopefully it will put your mind at ease.

One of the fixes we had planned for the IMS originally was to make the roller bearing end of the shaft also supported by a plain bearing thats hydrostatically lubricated and we may still try this.. But our current fixes are working great and the key is now to reduce the loads the IMS sees...

Look for much more information being shared soon, including more videos that describe the engine internals.
