Yes. I just did a track day this past Saturday with a guy who optioned his car with the CCBs. He does 8 - 12 track days per year and said his CCBs were shot after 4,000 miles. Here's the painful part as SpeedyDad noted - $4,000 per corner to replace! After some back-and-forth with his dealership, BMW AG agreed to a one-time complementary replacement. At 12,000 miles they were shot again so he ordered steel discs and pads and did the work himself to convert the brakes.
