Yes, I've looked into this. I've read, however, this infamous 'IMS bearing failure' only happens during low-mileaged boxsters. It's caused by owners who drive it like their grandmas would and as a result end up 'lugging' the transmission which causes the IMS to fail. According to other boxster owners, if this issue doesn't come up during it's early lifetime, there's a big chance it won't come up later on when it's at a higher mileage.
Nonetheless, issues like these are one of the reasons why I am hesitating on choosing the boxster. Fixing those are priiiicaayyyyy
