Nothing new or close two it in that price range. There are some classics you could get like a nice Porsche 356 or longhood 911 and you wouldn't lose a dime. The Z3 and Z4 M Coupes are a good bet as well. All of these require a certain kind of person to run as daily drivers.

For a conventional daily driver, I'd get an off-lease 3-series or C-class that's still under warranty. Nothing to run, popular enough to be easy to sell for decent money in a year or two. My E46 325i sold for $3500 less than I paid for it after two years, and honestly I could have gotten more.
