>From the E36 volume of "So wird's gemacht":

             New Thickness  Min. Thickness (stamped on disk)
 solid rear      12.0 mm        10.0 mm
 solid front     10.0            8.0
vented front     22.0           20.0

The thickness should be at least 0.4 mm more than this after machining. Disks should be replaced if the axial direction surface variation [Axialschlag der Bremsflaeche - I think my native American is failing me] exceeds 0.05 mm or there are large rifts or if there are any grooves more than 0.5 mm deep. I hope that helps.
