Personally? Change the oil filter for a spin on one, so ALL of the oil has to go through the filter. You can get a spin on adapter for not much money. Put a magnet in the sump (or get a magnetic sump plug), change the variocam tensioner parts and just drive it.

People are all too quick to say "ohh it's IMS that", so obviously the shop will tell you that. I'd just do the above and enjoy the car.
