Very nice looking car! The IMS is an issue with any M96/M97 engine with an intermediate shaft. It is still recommended that the IMS bearing be replaced at the time of clutch change as they generally provide no notice of failure and a failure is catastrophic to the engine. Pretty cheap insurance when it comes down to it.
The post '02 cars have better castings and oiling and that solved the cylinder wall failures and oil starvation on high cornering (g loads) typically caused by track tires and better grip during long high speed corners (mostly on track).
The best thing you can do is drive the car and do frequent oil changes and hope nothing happens. How many miles on the car? Your post isn't clear...did you just have the clutch changed?
