Personal preference. Some people like them, some people dont. If we all liked the same thing, this would be one boring forum.

Word to that. Sometimes I feel like the only one who likes mudflaps, twin headlights and steelies. :D

No doubt that the sheels were fitted in the same model in other cars, but no way they were supplied in the same cloth otherwhere than from Alpina. As it's a rare seat I'll just take good care of them and keep them in this car.
I have to agree with Dennis here

I have genuine Recaro leather seats in my E30 Hartge and these Scheel Alpina stripey Jobs in the E21 Alpina- I am very tall and slim- and the Scheel seats seem to tip down- the Recaros seem to work (for me at least) a bit better. The guys have been busy modifying the runners in Alpina to a get them to sit level and get them to go back further- both now sorted!

But of course originality is key here and I would not swap them over

Ditto I had Camilla's Camaro Conv. original red seats recovered some years ago rather than go for far better aftermarket ones as the original design is important to maintain coherence etc
