    Honestly, I hope it gets look at its chassis and drive shaft. Small hits to its underbody breaks it so easily.

    I believe it must be a top end variant of a normal K-Series with more agressive suspension, new engine program and obviously different styling

    The ETK sisters, while not as versatile as many other cars in game, still have some good potential related to performance versions. We could really do with an 82X/84X and some performance division stuff above TT-Sport. Shoehorn a big motor in both of those cars and throw on an aggressive GT style widebody, active aero for the K-Series, plus full on touring car configs... Aftermarket parts are another thing I really want to see. A turbo rabbit and nomi kit would be great to see for them.

    They could also do with a mid-cycle refresh and a couple special editions of the top trim specs

    I gotta say, I love the look of that new wing

    I think at least the K Series deserves a GT3 styled body, like that mod we have for the Scintilla, would go great with the racing dash and a new interior

    glad to see the k series getting some new content (if not being fully remastered), was always kinda underwhelming to me
    hopefully the 800 series gets some love too

    yea ngl the K-Series felt like it was missing something, never knew what it was, other than a special ETK V8 version. doubt that'll happen but it's an idea.

    I'm actually pretty excited for a K-Series remaster now, it has always been the one car with a lot of wasted potential and many issues, I hope we get improved Jbeam, a turbo that doesn't overheat, better radiator, a factory V12 engine, maybe a V8 swap, some tuning parts, and definitely it needs a proper race version! And of course the widebody too!

    I'm super hyped for new parts for ETK K-Series. This car is awesome because it's 1 of 3 coupes in game. Standard K-Series have parts but it's missing a lot starting from agressive parts to ttSport, proper racing car. Also Drift build is great but car looking awful like standard one with wheels which are too small and not math car and color. For me on modern cars we can see more production age than on old ones so upgrade one of nicest car in game is awesome even if this mean only new parts not full remaster. I will be happy to see it on PBR ECUS, WCUS, Italy :rolleyes:

    The Widebody parts for the K-Series look amazing. As for the car itself, some changes have to be made on its body, some interior details have to be finished properly and, also, the engine variety of the modern ETKs can be expanded, with Turbocharged 1.5 gas and diesel I3s in the lower end, some more versions of the existing turbocharged gas and diesel 2.0 I4s/3.0 I6s in the middle (also, the NA 3.0 I6 can be kept because it makes sense for those who don't want a Turbocharged I4 and don't want to pay extra for a Turbocharged I6 either) and a 4.0 Twin-Turbo gasoline V8 in the higher end, for bringing the current German "Lego" way of engine production in the BeamNG lore.

    A diesel i3 in a luxury sports car?
    --- Post updated ---
    I feel like the k series has barely been updated since it's release

    I believe he was talking about a different vehicle hence his comment about expanding the ETK lineup.

    The Turbocharged 1.5 gas and diesel I3s don't make sense in a luxury sports car like the K-Series but they do make sense in a family car like the 800-Series (for making the latter more affordable to the masses who want to upgrade to a luxury car but don't want to pay much in the way of taxes because, let's be honest, there are countries that charge extra taxes above 2 liters of displacement), hence why I mentioned the modern ETKs in general. The I3s can be kept in the parts selector of the K-Series though, for anyone who wants them.

    I personally don’t think the 1.5s fit a ETK 800, I’ve never seen a BMW 3-Series with an inline 3.

    While I can't comment on how common they actually are, Audi and BMW both offer 1.5 i3's in the contemporary A3/3-Series respectively and Mercedes has a 1.5 i4 in the contemporary C-class

    ETK K series is not a luxury car... It's more a performance car. There is almost nothing luxurious in ETK K.

    The F30 3-Series (2012 - 2018) got the B38 1.5 Turbo I3 in its 2015 facelift - in the 318i version, with 136hp. The current production years of the 800-Series (2013 - 2017, unless the lifespan gets slightly expanded with the remastering) are bang-on for the car to be equipped with such an engine. It was presented in the era of radical downsizing, after all.
