You could probably get a older:

Volkswagen Passat
Rover 75
Renault Megane
Alfa Romeo 156
Mercedes-Benz E200
Jaguar X-Type

Fyi, I'm using Great Britain prices on autotrader.co.uk. I guess that prices might be different in your country.
An Alfa GTV6 3.0 would be even better, a bit old but really punchy

I think you mentioned somewhere that you're from South-Eastern Europe? If that's so, I would avoid BMWs which will usually be more worn out than in Western Europe.
Even if you can afford a BMW in a decent condition it will more expensive to maintain that, say, a Fiat.

A Civic was mentioned and it's a good car but then again I'm not sure you'll be able to find one in a good condition at this price. I'd consider taking a mechanic to go along before buying.

Why buy a car? Re-invest it and make sure you're prepared for the next collapse, that's what I'm going to do.

Buy a Honda S2000. Or an used Alfa Romeo, with a v6 engine, it's like a mini Ferrari.

A motorbike
Not sure how that can be considered a four-wheel vehicle also known as a "car".

Man. You ask for some simple recommendations and all you get are ridiculous suggestions. Unbelievable are the Internet forums.

How about something more Urban, I don't live in the desert you know.

Not really sure what the desert has to do with it. I think you're just making excuses because you don't like the $100,000 conversion price.

Consider a Honda Civic.

So I live in Europe and have according to the exchange rate my country's fiat to USD is $1,335.47 which is 2000 units of my country's fiat. I know, not a lot of money in this day and age.

Honestly I really want to buy a silver BMW that looks slick and is as new as possible, but they cost three times what I have. It's hard to find a 318 let alone a 525 TDI.

I am looking for a Sedan-type car i.e http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Car_body_style#Saloons_.2F_sedans

Oh and while it may not be a lot to brag about, considering some people have $300k just to trade Bitcoins, but my Uncle's son has an Opel Insignia which costs quite a few $k.
