Why does the BMW 4 Series have a lower roofline than the 3 Series?

I noticed that the 4 Series has a sleeker design with a lower roofline, but I'm wondering if there are any technical reasons for this. Does it affect the car's performance or handling in any way?

The lower roofline on the 4 Series is due to its sportier design. It has a lower center of gravity which improves handling and cornering. However, it may have a slightly negative impact on rear visibility.
