Not sure where to find the Engine serial number, but it is an M97/03, build date of car was January 25, 2006 - took delivery of it on Feb. 20, 2006 and had it ever since. Not sure if it has the big bearing or the smaller one, but I haven't had any indication of IMS failure. I have tracked the car in the past - 3 times, last time in October of 2009. I haven't had to replace the clutch yet, but dealer (and I don't have them do all the work on it) just recommended that I get Porsche's IMS replacement when I get the clutch done. Not sure how good Porsche's is.

2005 launch edition Carrera S, no issues with IMS.
Dropped the engine at 95k, replaced IMS with the IMS Retrofit. The bearing I pulled out already had the seals pulled for better lubrication. I am the 3rd owner so one of the previous owners had done that.
