This car is amazing.
Just still losing sleep over the IMS issue. I have a feeling that concern will go away, but I cannot afford a new engine, or even a new car really if that were to happen :/
I know how you feel, there is a lot of scare mongering about the IMS issue... it almost ruins the wonderful feeling of being a new Porsche owner. I read somewhere in this forum that those that bleat on about it the most are those trying to sell solutions etc. and are invested in the fear aspect. I believe statistically the chance of this happening is very low.
However I did get an aftermarket warranty because of it, 5 years / 100 000 miles. Who knows, I might need it... I might not and it might pay out, it might not... I will find out next month when I take it for a service at a dealership and point out a few things. Let's see what happens.
My advice is to just forget about the IMS thing and enjoy your car.
