If not then it's not really an equivalent issue from a second-hand buyer's perspective. IMS is addressed in one day at the shop and has been done by DIY'ers with no experience taking down transmissions.

Uh the comparison is that you get 104HP per liter with an 2001 M3, for that kind of performance I can except that it may be a bit high strung in terms of maintenance.
2003 Boxster Base gives you 83.3 HP per liter (Yawn)...
Let's not pretend the the IMS is the only mode of failure for these engine, because it's not.
I love Porsches and I love Boxsters...but they are long on shortcomings for their performance. The Base tip has all of the shortcomings with the least performance.
