Pretty remarkable testament to the rare M96 durability...my 02 S has less than 10% of those mileages!

No problems with the engine... I have replaced the water pump twice and AOS four times. I have no idea how many oil changes, ~ 40 times.

No, just twice, both with LNE bearing (single row).

Apparently the IMS was never replaced!!!

these posts always make me wonder what floridabill's up to. (pic was from 2012 on a 2000 S) and he had no clue what an IMS was.

That's because he drives it every day, year round, and obviously on trips long enough to burn off all the stuff you don't want hanging around in there. Unfortunately most people drive the complete opposite... once in a blue moon, only when the weather is mild and on trips where the oil doesn't have enough time to get up to temp..probably less than 20 minutes.
I don't think it was engineered to do the latter.

I feel woefully inadequate - engine failed (hydraulic lifter) at 136,000 with 89 track days.
Guess my engine was built by a hung-over mechanic on a Monday morning during Oktoberfest.

I put at least 60 miles on mine 4-5 days/week to work and back and sometimes over 100 miles on weekends.

I was looking at a 2000 S, it had 267k on the clock. when I did a test drive, the engine appeared to run extremely well. for that mileage I was surprised. also I plugged in my scan tool, expecting to see a cleared CEL fault, but nothing was triggered. I ended up passing on the purchase, but I was amazed at how well it ran. maybe if the seller had a detailed history on the car I would have purchased it, but I was leery of the purchase of what could have been a ticking time bomb.
