I struggle over this issue myself. The Dangermobile has only 20k original miles, and more money tied up in mods than I care to admit to. I've put this issue off for quite awhile (namely because I'm not able to drive it much), but I have a tentative appointment to have the IMSB retro-fit performed in a week or so. For the longest while, my vehicle was considered a prime candidate for IMS failure by virtue of the fact that it's used so infrequently. Interestingly, the latest statical data that came out of the class-action suit against Porsche suggests that my vehicle is in fact less likely to suffer IMS failure than previously thought. Here's the paradox. If I don't do the retro-fit, the concern for failure will forever remain in the back of my mind. On the other hand, I know that when the bearing is finally extracted, it will prove to be in near flawless condition.
