Thank you both for the help.

Hi JimG
I think this image may help you and they may be #3 and #4
Another image that I have in my archive suggests that the TCC solenoid is #4.
For the price, and if you are planning to keep the vehicle for a long time, I would suggest replacing both of the solenoids
I will also offer that I have used AMSOIL Full Synthetic ATF in my E53/4.4i since 80K miles and now 113K miles with perfect performance and in my E46/330Xi as well from 80K to now 132K miles with similar results.
