To buy or not to buy, that’s the question.

I’m looking at a 2011 e70 3.5i with 103K on the Odo. It’s priced right, and drives great. However, in 2021 it had the oil pump replaced. I called the shop and they said the owner brought it in for a low oil pressure warning, and they replaced the sensor and finally the oil pump. This would be my first experience with the N55 engine, and I’m curious what y’all thing about how bad for the engine the (I can only assume) couple weeks of running it with low oil pressure will have been for it. On other forums I’ve read several horror stories of rod bearing failures directly related to very short term oil starvation.
