I posted the following, with photos, up on Facebook and thought some
of you here might be interested as well. Not sure if I'm only person
that is still interested in these older brake pads.

My E12 has the older "puck" style of brake pads and I was not liking
what I found when I removed them, they are cracked and broken. I
thought, no problem, just order another set and we'll be fine. Yeah, I
learned that the puck brake pads are not available and it sounds like
they haven't been for a while. I am not in the position to buy the
$200 upgrade kit, which I understand is better, it just isn't feasible
right now.
One evening a few weeks back I set out to find a suitable replacement,
and it turns out I believe I have found the impossible. The package
finally arrived today, and in the pictures you will see two pucks,
with the one sporting a black metal backing plate is the new one.
Same size if you remove that thin metal plate from the old puck, and
it fits into the caliper great. They are not cheap but dang it, they
look like the same material with that gold flake in it even.
Anybody interested in the details?
