The first BMW 8 Series was supposed to compete with the SL models and the S-class coupe from Mercedes-Benz. The BMW 8 Series coupe was designed for 4 passengers, unlike the Mercedes-Benz SL roadster. The first cars of the 8 series were designed using an aerodynamic tube, due to which it was possible to significantly reduce their aerodynamic drag coefficient. The 8 Series was introduced with a V12 engine and 6-speed manual transmission. The electronic gas pedal was first used on it.
