    The ETK Common I6 diesel torque limits got nerfed in v0.37.

    General Output Stats: v0.28 - v0.36
    • Stock maxTorqueRating: 800nm
    • Heavy Duty maxTorqueRating: 1320nm (x1.65)
    General Output Stats as of v0.37:
    • Stock maxTorqueRating: 700nm
    • Heavy Duty maxTorqueRating: 980nm (x1.4)

    Was this an intentional but undocumented change?

    I think yes, because I noticed the "310 ECU" has been downgraded to 313hp/619Nm - 457lb-ft from the 327hp/641Nm - 473lb-ft it had before and I also noticed some new parts for this beast. A "310 ECU Stage 1" (362hp/707Nm - 521lb-ft), a "310 ECU Stage 2" (which is the former "Stage 1", producing the same 402hp/783Nm - 578lb-ft), a "Custom ECU (Stage 3)" (which goes up to 7000rpm) and a "Stage 3 Variable Boost Turbocharger" (which goes up to 55PSI/3.8Bar).
    Mind you, the aforementioned hp/tq numbers (verified with the Torque Curve UI App) are with the Stock Long Block, the Heavy Duty Long Block now adds some hp/tq instead of taking away, like before (for example, the "310 ECU" gets 329hp/649Nm - 479lb-ft with the Heavy Duty Long Block now, so a bit more powerful/torquey than before the new parts were added). But reducing the ratings of the Heavy Duty Long Block may hint at an Ultra Heavy Duty Long Block coming sometime in the future. And a freer flowing exhaust would be beneficial. :)

    The I-Series and Miramar also had their engine power curve tuned. Maybe other cars, I haven't checked them all.

    I think this should have digital gauges on the higher trims since this is a luxury german car and they are overenginnered

    I do not know if this is intentional, but some AWD 800 do not have the "x" in their names. For instance, police configs are named '844 Police', '854 Polizei' and '854 Polizia', despite being AWD. But the 'Kc6x Autobahn Polizei' has the "x". Same thing with the '846tt Driving Experience' (which is AWD) and the 'Kc6x 310d Driving Experience'. And in this case, the K variant has its power in its name, but not the 800. It should be '846ttx 360 Driving Experience'.
    But maybe it is on purpose and these models do not have the exact same naming convention.

    There is some issue when you select the empty option (black trim) in the "Paint design" slot, while brushed trim for example doesn't have that

    The diesel 3.0 i6 needs an ultra heavy duty long block because in its current form it can only make 33psi boost without blowing up

    Since there is a M3 wagon race car

    It would be nice to have the K-Series GT IV bodykit and swan neck wing for the 800

    I'm sure someone could even mod it onto the 800-Series, I would try doing that but I have no clue what I'm doing when it comes to modding (and I'm not really great with Blender either).

    im not sure if this is me being nitpicky, but the doors seem to pop open far too easily in crashes, especially the rear ones - even low speed rear end impacts make them just fly open

    Indeed, such a situation exists, and both the ETK800 and Bastion share a common flaw: the area from the A-pillar to the upper door frame is extremely rigid, while the lower door frame is significantly softer. This causes the chassis to twist downward during oblique collisions—even under extremely high-speed conditions. The Bastion's A-pillar can even support a five-ton steel coil without any structural damage. Generally speaking, shouldn't the chassis be more robust than the A-pillar?:confused:

    The halogen headlights don't fade like the taillights do.
