first is a sensor that goes in your brake duct right?. I cant remember but i know the temp one looks different. I think its for the heated windshield washers


second i need u to zoom out but it looks like a temp sensor for your coolant or power steering pressure sensor?

#1 is the external temp sensor for heated washers. It was an option for cars with the cold weather package, which usually included heated door locks and heated mirrors.
It's part no. 24 in this diagram: http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?model=BG93&mospid=47488&btnr=61_0070&hg=61&fg=45

#2 looks like the "dual temperature sensor" in the head for the DME and cluster temp readings.
It's number 14 in this diagram: http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?model=BG93&mospid=47488&btnr=11_1480&hg=11&fg=15
