Sorry to hear of your circumstances. I am following along. If local regulations permit you to return this unit to the dealer/seller, cut it loose, and get another regardless of the severity of this problem.

Here are my replies to you guys.. I will send the particles to a Porsche specialist for an analsys on monday..Looks like I have to save up some serious $$$$ 
Looks like it sticks to a magnet, so it´s not aluminium..

Post pictures with a small object so we can reference the size of the particles.

I did that, see pics below. I already picked the car up, and the mechanic said there were metal particles in the pan as well...

It has a proper servicehistory. Same mechanic for 7 years.

That metal does not look like IMS to me....but listen to Jake and the experts.

Why does this not look like IMS to you?

Dual row cars are the most unlikely to have an IMS fail. Some 2000 cars had dual row. But Porsche's serial numbers are not reliable to determine this.

I don´t think so. I bought the car july 4.th from a private seller.
Here is a pic from my door. Is this the engine number? e1398/140020

Man I am hoping for the best for you? Remember, just fixing IMS may not be the best option. If there is that much material in your filter, most of that was running through your engine and might have scored the other internal parts. Good luck on this...

Haz, sorry this has happened to your Boxster, but 1 oil change in 27 months is NOT proper maintenance. When you get this sorted out, and you will, stick around here and learn about a better oil change interval (yearly, or every 5-7,000 miles, whichever comes first).
Take care.

I meant it has a proper service history and track record from new, if you see what has been done to from new. The exception, and this looks like a big one, abviously is that it didn´t get at least two or three oilchanges during mentioned 27 months. I totally agree on that point!
