these are VERY comfortable seats. i have a very nice set for my coupe. much more comfortable than the e21 recaros IMHO (i had the recaros in my last 76 2002). i like the scheel mann 400s more than the e30 m3 sport seats (which i have always liked too)Charlie,
Scheel-Mann 400's, original covers, missing one rotate knob, one recline small knob, and no headrests; would need to source them, or fab them(3-D print the knobs?). Also missing the rectangular "Scheel-Mann" button on backs. PM if interested, or call me 443.1404.

Scheel manufactured the Konig’s, at least initially. That explains why the very specific scheel sliders bolt up perfectly.
“LarsAlpina” said:I‘m still collecting the infos but as far as I know now Scheel started producing seats in late 60s in or near Stuttgart. In early 70s (72-73?) one found a new adress for "SCHEEL Schalensitze GmbH" and that was in Karlsfeld near Munich. From 75 to the beginning 80s adds and catalogues were always signed with the names of two companies: "scheel-Schalensitze GmbH" and "ASS Auto-Sport-Spezialsitze KG", both in Karlsfeld. Only ASS made the 203 model, all other models one could buy with both logos ASS and Scheel (at that time no other visible differences as far as I found out). In early 80s there must have been some division because from then on one found "ASS Autosport-Spezialsitze GmbH & Co. Vertriebs KG" in Karlsfeld and "Scheel-Mann-Sitze" in Ditzingen-Heimerdingen near Stuttgart. As far as I know ASS was bought by a dutch guy who still runs the company nowadays. Scheel-Mann was bought by Greiner GmbH in 1988 (I spoke to the owner of the company Siegfried Greiner) and they are also still producing sport seats.
