Yes, no and costly

Can it be done, yes.

Is it cost effective, no. You currently have to split the case apart to get at the IMS bearings though someone is reputed to be working on a version that allows a replacement with merely the motor removed from the chassis and no need to go inside the crankcase.

Just like any other car...some fail. And just like any other car...drive it, enjoy it, break it and fix it in that order if it happens.

My Boxster S '01 has had lots less problems than my '01 Acura TL and none serious in trouble or $. My prior '99 Boxster had no problems. My prior 914 couldn't stay out of the shop.
