I have been thinking about doing the beemer front disk brake upgrade. The only thing that bothers me is the loss of the parking /(cough, cough) emergency brake. I had an idea to look for a motorcycle front disk brake rotor mounted to the axleshaft with a cable operated brake assembly mounted to the tranny (I think there are three useable bolts on the RH side). Anyone play with this idea before?

Clean system, good tires, and better pads will do wonders. But at this point, it doesn't sound like you know the limits of the current system. Don't let a poorly bled system trick you into thinking you have bad brakes. And until you upgrade the engine to big power, don't bother with the BMW upgrade. Been there, did that, wasted money.
