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.  |
I think he is referring to how the IMS issue while definitely real was overblown. In many cases if the car had high miles and the IMS did not go yet, most believe it will never go. Not sure anyone has any real good data on it other than maybe Porsche.
So the engine issue while real maybe overblown as well. Time will tell.
