I'd shy away from real estate because it ain't liquid right now....and 2 or 3 years down the road you'll be graduating and needing to go on to grad school or your first job or whatever.
Sounds like you're currently living at home...so rents gotta be cheap. If dad is gonna front half the cost, show him how mature you are. Shop for an $8K car...use $4K of your money. You'll spend quite a bit of your nest egg over the next 2-3 years if you get a relatively new Bimmer....ins, maintenance, premium gas, etc. And in 2-3 years you'll have a 120K 3series worth about $8K.
There are some nice cars that can be had for $8K. Hell, buy a bit older 3 that's been maintained. In 3 years it'll be worth $4K. And you'll still have the bulk of your $13K left in the bank.
