Stay away from anything related to water.
You need to first run a carfax, then talk to whoever repaired the car. Lastly, and the most important thing, is to bring a certified mechanic to inspect the car or take the car to one. My advice is take it right to BMW for inspection. They will point out the history of the car by looking over everything. If they cant find any history of the car being in an accident, most likely the repairs were done right.
Its a long-ish process, but if you do it right, you'll find a deal. Thing is, prepare to keep the car, because resale is hard if you dont want to lose money.
Have you tried an e30? For 12k, you could get the best drivers car (e30) with an S38 M5 motor swapped in.
