MSN don't put their top 10s in order; they're just saying the e30's in the top 10 not that it's necessarily the best...

Think we were in the best sub Ԛ£500 & the best sub Ԛ£1000 too...

Where does it say that? & why are the photos at the bottom in a totally different order then? "Here, weÔš've chosen 10 of our favourites." They never put them in order...

What would be the point in saying which was "best" out of an e30 and an x5 for example anyway?!

IMO, was the car that helped BMW with those sales, back when it was released, what did the competition have to offer? Its already acheiving that cult status, and will be a future classic and is already becoming one, think you'll find thats the difference with the E36 or E46, I don't think they'll have that same iconic legend as the E30 has built.

I have driven the cooper they are nice to drive, but i cant stand the bubbly "space ship" interior. And they arent really bmw, are they.
Just my opinion at the end of the day.
