Relax and enjoy the car. IMS failures are less than 1% of cars built with this design. Change the oil every 5k miles and inspect the used oil filter for shiny bits. A magnetic drain plug is a good idea as an early warning device. For peace of mind you can have a PPI (post purchase inspection) done at a local Porsche indy shop but this does not include inspection of the IMS bearing since that would require removing the trans.
