No Failure
I have 2 2005 997.1 C2S's. One is a DD with 55,000 miles the other is a RUF R-Kompressor with 42,000. Both are late '05 cars and have the larger IMS bearing that isn't serviceable through the hole in the case. Neither has failed.

I was just answering to the Title. He specifically asks for.2 owners to vote. I have no idea why, but I always try to be helpful. Rennlist has saved me a ton of money on the DIY stuff.I am we'll aware of which car has an IMS. I Did not purchase the .01 because I wanted direct fuel injection, Bluetooth, PDK, better fuel economy and no IMS. That highlights a couple of the reasons why I felt the car was better suited as my wife's daily driver. I've been a Porsche owner for over 20 years and have managed very well to avoid models with issues. I am extremely satisfied with the 3 p-cars we are currently running. We have had the 964 for 16 years with no major repairs other then replacing the AC system.

Possible IMS failure
My car VIN is part of the lawsuit. I bought it used and non certified unfortunately. I am only eligible for 25% of the repair or replacement costs.
