These cars supposed to be made for occasional tracking.

These cars are indeed built to handle some track use, but that doesn't mean BMW is willing to subsidize such activity. Ultimate Service in general has always excluded levels of wear incurred by use on a racetrack. CCB or not, if you come in needing new pads and/or rotors more often than BMW deems reasonable, while they won't refuse to change them, they won't pay for it either.
Interesting catch that the Ultimate Service note about CCBs has been removed, though. I'm not sure that's an actual change in policy, but even if it is, BMW could again claim (correctly) that on a car driven on the street shouldn't need CCB rotors or pads within the Ultimate Service 50K miles, and probably not even the Extended Maintenance period, and therefore that if a car comes in needing service, chances are that the car is being used for more than street driving, which in turn wouldn't be covered. So the CCB service exclusion could simply be implicit rather than explicit now.
