I just got back from a 2-day M performance driving school in SC over the weekend and one of the first things I noticed was that all of the M4C's and M5C's that we drove were fitted with CCB's. I asked them why they decided on this, and they said it's actually cheaper to fit them versus steels because the rotors and pads get chewed up way too quick with steels. You may go thru multiple sets of steel rotors and pads before making a big payment towards replacing the CCB's. So while the CCB replacement cost is expensive, the multiple replacement costs for steels adds up. The CCB's apparently last for much longer than people on here are stating when taking to the track.

We were beating the absolute shit out of these cars and not a single hint of brake fade!
