Negative
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. |
Actually some of us received replacement driveshafts constructed of CF. |
New production;
I think 2015 had a steel shaft; 2016 had carbon fiber,
Then 2017+ was steel.
If you had a malfunctioning 2016 and it had carbon fiber I think they would replace with carbon fiber.
That said; unless CF was out of stock and no fitment issues with a steel then some circumstance I could see a steel or CF shaft as an option.
What year is your F80? |
My 2015 F80 has a carbon fiber shaft. They transitioned to steel later in production.
