Good test would be to do a lap on the �� dragon with all the switch backs.

I’m honestly pretty certain the g loads you get on the track would be insanely reckless to try on the street to be “low oil pressure” detrimental but waiting to be proved wrong.

The stresses exposed to a car on track are close to impossible to replicate on public roads. If a potential engine flaw that's exposed on track is also able to be replicated on public roads there are some serious issues going on.

FYI the IMS issue affects M96 and M97 engines. The years affected are 1996-2009, not merely 2000-2005. And while there's an easy solution for the (weaker) M96 IMS, for the M97 the only way to upgrade the IMS involves engine disassembly. So in reality, no solution for the M97.
