2007 C2, 52k miles - No issue, however, a little over a year ago, (prior to my purchase of the car), the PO had the RMS replaced, and did the IMS "while they were in there".

Three Wheelin'
07 4S w/31k miles no issue.
I see it is recommended to start easy but once warm, keep RPM above 2500 for better lubrication. No problem here. May be more on an issue with the tiptronics and grandpa driving.
Question - can someone verify the IMS was removed for the 09 model w direct injection? One web page stated so?

I assume you meant IMS seal and not the IMS bearing. I believe for your car replacing the bearing would mean dismantling the engine.

You are correct... it was the seal and not the bearing. From what I have been reading though, by 2007 the bearing issue was addressed by Porsche.
