Some of the common factors it seems with failure in these engines is lack of driving ( low miles ) , Driven like a pansy ( engine lugged ) and oil changed at the ridiculous level that is recommended ( 15k ). I've got 82k on my cabriolet so so far so good.
Then again as Cliff says sounds like it couldn't hurt and if it gives you piece of mind you can't put a price on that.

A google search lead me to this article which is off of one of the links above:

Seems pretty convincing to me what the failure is about and why some tracked "driven like u stole them" cars have fewer IMS issues!
Think I'll drive a bit harder from now on.
