Looks like it sticks to a magnet, so itīs not aluminium..

Post pictures with a small object so we can reference the size of the particles.

I did that, see pics below. I already picked the car up, and the mechanic said there were metal particles in the pan as well...

That metal does not look like IMS to me....but listen to Jake and the experts.

Why does this not look like IMS to you?

The build date on US cars is on the driver's door jam. Where the door closes.
Dual row cars are the most unlikely to have an IMS fail. Some 2000 cars had dual row. But Porsche's serial numbers are not reliable to determine this.

I donīt think so. I bought the car july 4.th from a private seller.
Here is a pic from my door. Is this the engine number? e1398/140020
