    hm, so if it is bigger than the 800 series, but smaller than the 900 series mod, maybe the 850 series? actually, that may be weird, because we have 800 series trims that are in the 850's. i need to think this through.

    The second number mean number of doors, so we can't call it 850, the best name still I-Series now but not good enough, But I can't find out another reasonable name

    Thanks for your praise, and only myself is working on it, so it's slow

    Yeah, J-Series would actually make sense.

    I think it's taken by a modder who made a 1970's car by the same name and brand. Correct me if I'm wrong but maybe he did use J-series.

    It make sense, but I can’t , it is bigger, longer and more expensive than 800, and it’s ‘15, too closer to ‘13, In the beginning, I designed it as a luxury executive sedan, so it cannot be a 800

    then why not 900 lol
    even if its not as big as it it would make loads of sense to name it that, since personally i think the lore naming for modern etks is coupes/sports cars have the letter name, sedans/wagons/ coupe variant of sedan is X00 number scheme and suvs are XX00 number scheme

    it would be even cooler because of that
    the 900 is a 2018-2024 car, if you make this a 2014-2018 it would make a lot of sense and be pretty baller

    would be nice, but there's an ETK 700 mod which is a predecessor of ETK 800, also this I-Series is in the "lifespan" of 800, so i think that this car is in different class separated from X00 kinda like ETK S

    https://www.beamng.com/resources/2005-etk-800-series.30202/ it no longer is a 700 since its 800 thats why i said 900 would be much more fitting than I series, especially since the i series is 800 sized

    What about L800 or 800L for long wheelbase? BMW and Audi do something similar when they have a car between two models, especially for the Chinese market.

    Another option might be 800GS for Gran Saloon, a play on BMW's GC Gran Coupe range, which always sits between two models and is often a LWB version of the smaller car.
