Where on the E34 is the Transmission Control Unit for a 1992 525i Automatic? Is it easily accessible & replaceable?

Passenger side of the engine compartment. Pull the black cover with 4 screws aft by the firewall. Look inside there... You are looking for the TCM/EGS

Should look something like this......

That is a picture off the net. Depending on the car (Year,Sedan/Touring, 525,530,540) it can be in a couple places including where you mention. Mine looks different than the picture, but I can not find the picture I have of it. I will have to pull the cover and take another one! Ii am attaching a diagram of what mine looks like.
