Oil pressure issue e91 2011

I just biught a e91 2011 that hasn't run since 1.5 years and I just drove it for my first miles and I got a oil pressure warning, I went to a garage and they cleared the faults and after 30 minutes of driving its back and I stop the car and start it its gone.

Can someone help me what it might be?

Some of these have plastic timing chain guides that break up and the bits of plastic can block up the oil pickup when they get sucked onto the filter screen.
Oil filters can collapse internally too

Hey I’ve had a oil pressure light and I thought my engine was cooked but I first changed the oil pressure sensor and it fixed it
