OP got lucky!
Legally - yes.

I got my E90/335d last year from this forum member.
It was obvious that it would not pass smog "as-is".

It is really not a big deal if you know what to fix and rough estimate.
The ISTA+ would tell you if it is ready for a smog.

The smog place experience vary by price and experience.

STAR place next to my house does thorough visual checks.
However, on my E70/35d they "missed" replacement SCR cat (OE/Certified part) and did not even discovered Provent 200
