Description

BAVARIA A39 - 3.0L Petrol I6 Touring Car | COP/TOW/MED

BAVARIA A39

Please review the dev thread! https://www.lfs.net/forum/thread/111981

This mod features an all-original and well-detailed 3D model, with lots of features and goodies. It comes with civilian config, but also comes with a lightbar and some default skins for Police/EMS/TOW role-play.

Inspired by circa 2002 BMW E39 models.

This is car 1 of 3 mods in the series - this is the "standard" 3.0L Inline 6 touring model.

CREDITS:

Jere - LFSW: Kanker_aap - was commissioned to build a brand new 3D model in Blender, from scratch. This includes:

Full 3D model of interior and exterior
Two wheel rims models
Separate bumpers and trims for the "N" model
Support with the model, as needed
Provided some textures, captured from reference photos, such as the door card texture in interior

TheStigUSA - mod construction, texture generation, further 3D modeling, sounds, refinements, frame, handling.

Ensured proper model dimensions, in comparison to real-world values. Re-sizing was necessary. Despite best efforts, the initial version scaling was quite off. Updated this on 02/Aug/25 to be much improved.
Added various sub-objects including: brake rotors, gauge models, logo objects including setting them into the model, seat belts and buckles along with modeling them into the B-pillars, airbag cutout on dash, the model badges on the boot, bonnet, and on steering wheel, exterior door lock model, lightbar models are made by me as well.
Texture work, including: various interior textures made from scratch, gauge textures made from scratch. Role-play (COP,TOW,MED) textures created by me as well

Additional credits:
