It may be my cars arch enemy, and as much as it pains my manliness to admit it.
I do think the Abarth 500 has a cracking interior.
I also think that the JCW is nice. The Recaros are especially lovely.
Bonus points for whoever tells me who's car this is as well

My e36 has been replaced by an e46. I do a 60 mile commute every day in it and have to agree with the above. The seating position is much better than the e36 and I don't feel as if I need to get the seat any lower ( and I like to be low in the car).
I have to say though, even though the seats are low, if they could get lower, I wouldn't mind one bit 
I like being so low, that my butt could pretty much scrape asphalt.But yes, I have done over 20k miles in mine since buying it back in January 2015, and haven't felt like it wasn't an ideal place to spend long hours as a driver.

I realise that I may be alone in this but I am a huge fan of the Fiat Multipla's interior. I had one and it was superb: bright, airy, fun, spacious, masses of storage and everything falls nicely to hand including the gear lever. It could carry six people with their luggage, with nobody stuck in the boot but was shorter than a Honda Civic of the same era.
Car Magazine included it in their 10 best car interiors of all time.
I would agree. One of the best and most practical interiors Ive ever had. Just a pity about the exterior and the reliability Car Magazine included it in their 10 best car interiors of all time.

I grew to like the exterior, as for reliability, I'd did around 80k miles in mine and it was very reliable apart from eating front suspension bushes.
A very eccentric colleague of mine had the more boring facelifted version and really rated it, he was quite a petrolhead too. The only real issue he had with his was the rear brake drums freezing solid in cold weather, he did the mechanically sympathetic thing and just dragged the rear wheels around until the freed up. It was certainly very comfortable and spacious and the layout was a better solution than a 3rd row of seats, IMHO.

Thought my Alfa 166 had a very nice interior aswell.
I wondered if the 166 would come up in this. From an aesthetic point I also think the 166 is one of the nicest modern(ish) interiors for an everyday car.
I never got on with the driving position though and would have liked to do something to be able to get the wheel nearer and lower without compromising knee room (the bottom of the trim around the steering column got in the way). I had the silver-ish dials in mine so there was less contrast with the indicator lights so if you forgot to cancel them (every 166 owner will be familiar with the non cancelling left turn issue) and had music on loud and couldn't hear the indicators clicking, you'd easily fail to notice the lights in the cluster too!
Then there was the outdated ICS with tape deck. Not a single cup holder or anywhere particularly practical to fashion one (and YES it IS a real issue to some of us! First world problems ;-)). Rear leg room not the best and rear belt on one side was an inch or two shorter than the other side meaning I could only fit the Group 0 baby seat on one side and not the other (of course the less preferred side, sod's law).
And yet for all those compromises, I still miss that car!

"The best" is perhaps a strong statement, but as said before, the E38 is a very nice place to be.

Thought my Alfa 166 had a very nice interior aswell.

I normally prefer dark interiors, and very much like sitting in my current XF:
I can't find any decent interior photos of my Cerbera, but being so snug inside I went a car (mostly because it was Rolex Blue outside with a 4.5 engine) with a Portland stone coloured very light grey seats, dash, wheel and pillar trims but with dark blue carpets, door inserts and headlining. I love sitting in that car.
