    1995-2004 ETK I-Series H61
    (Lore friendly BMW 5 series e39)
    In the mid-1990s, ETK sought to redefine its presence in the executive sedan segment. The result was the ETK I-Series H61, a project designed with an obsession for stability, comfort, and long-distance performance. It was a car conceived for the demanding professional and the enthusiast who values engineering over embellishment.

    Design and Philosophy

    The H61 was born under the new internal design language called “Harmonie,” which favored symmetrical lines, clean forms, and a technological aesthetic without excess.

    Characteristic Elements:

    • elongated and aerodynamic body
    • circular twin headlights integrated into a minimalist frame
    • balanced proportions that prioritize weight distribution
    • low and stable stance, “ready to accelerate”
    It was a sober, elegant sedan with presence. ETK wanted the car to convey precision even when stationary.

    Chassis Engineering

    The H61 chassis used reinforced structures with high-strength steel and multiple programmed deformation zones, improving safety and rigidity without significantly increasing weight.

    Dynamicly, it stood out for:

    multi-link suspension with fine adjustments

    highly precise progressive power steering
    stable handling at high speeds

    Its strong point was always the “ETK feel”: firm, direct, and refined.

    Transmissions

    • 5- or 6-speed manual
    • ETK ShiftTronic automatic
    • Optional: xTech, ETK's intelligent all-wheel-drive system
    Reception

    The model was acclaimed for its combination of:

    • comfort
    • reliability
    • safe dynamic handling
    • durable engines
    It quickly became one of ETK's most beloved executive sedans, with a fan base that still considers it one of the brand's finest examples of a balance between luxury and sportiness.

    This is based in the I-Series with heavily edited JBeam. My first full car mod and full car model, so critisize in a constructive way :)
    (And if you're wondering, I'm making lowpoly first and them i'll subdivide it to get polycount similar to vanilla cars)
