Is this N52 engine in good shape? 325 e91(video)
Discussion
How much was it? I'm just about to sell my E91 325i, when I get the ECU replaced. The E90/E91 has an issue with the drain hole next to the ECU housing. After a few nights of heavy rain they fill up very quickly. Seems very common, so I would take a look at it under the bonnet, if I were you.

2,400 pounds in a auction house. Thank you for the advice.
That's an n53. No valvetronic motor gives it away.
Does sound a little challenged. Sounds like CCV seen better days, possibly.
Edit.. is the idle steady? Hard to tell. I'd budget for a set on injectors, plugs and coils if you buy it. Oh and waterpump if its not had one. That lot would be around 1500 quid i would think
Running well they are great engines but they can empty your wallet pretty quickly too.

Thanks for confirming, I thought it may be as my sister in law bought an N53 325i on an 07 plate which I thought would be an N52 given the age, especially as 330i's of the same vintage and later were still N52. Does sound a little challenged. Sounds like CCV seen better days, possibly.

I'd add to your shopping list a budget for £600 in parts for an HPFP at some point in the near future plus half a day DIY fitting if you're keen with the spanners, or a few hours at a garage if not. The sister in law's failed a few months after buying the car and that had only done just over 60k miles and anothr mate's 135i had his HPFP fail at 50k so personally I'd seek out an N52 as they're far less likely to thow you a big bill.
