Hi. As a Mercedes-Benz fan, I really don't like that it's called the ETK brand. After all, according to the game's lore, it's a BMW. =) Plus, their chassis is very different. In the game, the I-series is structurally the E34. The 123 has different suspension kinematics. And the front is completely different, as it has double wishbones. Is this just my curiosity and my misunderstanding of the mod's purpose? Is it just a redesign? Could you please comment on my thoughts? Will you keep the same suspension design? Have you considered coming up with a new name? Like Emilia-Herz or something like that. The first is a German first name, the second is a German last name. Similar to the original brand, except Mercedes is a Spanish name)))

The Audi 100 is a front-wheel drive car. That's where the debate ends.

W201 has a multi-link suspension with adjustable drop. I'm inclined to consider this car parody a failure. Structurally, it's an E34 with elements of the EVO styling. I don't understand why the developers mixed this mess together. They thereby precluded the possibility of a proper Mercedes copy. The design of the chassis is still decisive.

Audi? Mercedes? BMW? Damn! I'm confused.

I get you, and I agree. But don't worry about it. The game is a WIP, they're ought to add more cars to the ETK brand resembling MB and Audi. There's lots of things to be worked and added still, like the tire simulation.

Well, yeah... And besides, do you remember the last time there was an ETK Series I remaster? I don't think there ever was...

it takes design cues of e32, but proportion wise it's more like the 5 series, specifically the e28

Ah, now it's clear :3
Well, yeah... It looks quite similar. The features are recognizable (if not the headlights).
It seems like the E28 came out during the years when W123 production was in full swing.
