Seriously people, CFRP cannot stand high heat, so you cannot put something very hot near it. It sounds to me like there isn't the space to fit this new emissions filter without it being almost wrapped around the driveshaft. But it gets hot, so a steel shaft used instead.

How embarrassing it must be for all those poorly trained and ill-informed BMW engineers that spent untold millions of euros on developing and testing the CF driveshaft for this car. If only they had checked with the experts on BMW forums...
