I would like an M5 but maintenance and the price/availability of parts scares me.
I've looked into Audis but usually there are about 3-4 on Consumer Reports least reliable list.
If I had to go with a sedan I would look into a GS or an Accord V6.
For something sporty I would stick with my AP1 or sell it and see if I could find an 06 AP2 with low miles. Or and I know this is going against the rules the OP set forth, I would get a 98 240SX and do some form of a swap.
Edit: An EVO would also be something that could be had for that price but I would be worried that a previous owner beat the crap out of it. I've had a Subaru and driven multiple Subarus and liked them but just one small problem with the engine turns into a very expensive bill. Flat fours are a bitch to work on and like to go boom.
