Pressure sensor 1 is the rear braking system and is the sensor closest to the font of the car. Pressure sensor 2 is the front braking system and is closest to the bulkhead.
Replacement with a second hand sensor was a literally a 2 minute job. Both pressure sensors are the same part and are shared with the E46 range so plenty available in breakers. New sensor IRO £95 btw.

Place some one in car applying light pressure to the brake pedal during the removal.
Disconnect plug (ignition off)
Place rags under the sensor area to catch any brake fluid loss.
Unscrew the sensor (I used an adjustable with large jaw opening as access for a large adjustable is tight body is 27mm hex ) and immediately reinsert the replacement sensor. As quickly as possible to avoid fluid loss and air ingress.
Tighten and reconnect sensor plug (ignition off).
Start car. Move car checking brakes are functional first

Switch off ignition and on second attempt with ignition back on the lights should be clear. Mine needed some movement of the car and ignition off and on again to reset.
