They claimed it was replaced with steel because of emissions or some crap.

2017+ F80 New BMW M3 and M4s will be fitted with steel driveshafts instead of carbon fiber ones as a result of the German manufacturer complying with emissions regulations, according to Autoblog. Apparently, the old carbon shafts were too thick to accommodate a new particulate filter on the exhaust system.
It seems everything that made the F80 unique has gone out the door with this gen of M3.
