I can understand why the sedan would be considered to be the more feminine of the two, and deserving of the feminine tag "die", but why isn't the M4 not "Der neue M4" instead of the neutral "das"?
Perhaps BMW should be alerted to its faulty use of German?

I'm not sure if this is irony, if it isn't: German nouns have determined articles. 'Coupe' is always neutral ('das'), 'Limousine' is always feminine ('die'). So, for once, BMW marketing can't be blamed...
