If there is no oil leak from the original bmw ones then I suppose they should be fine. Another good way is to send your car for full inspection. It will not cost you a lot. Full inspection will reveal what are the damaged/broken parts that need to be replaced. There are some shops in old klang road which do it.2. I haven't encountered such a problem with the power steering fluid so far. However while going over 100km+ my steering was sometimes wobbly and shaky. The alignment of the steering was out. Also in most cases the steering rack might be crack if it shakes a lot at high speeds.3. Yes the bmw ones are second hand, since parts for the e36 are not manufactured anymore (unless ordered from auto bavaria, which is burning money). However you need to search chop shops in order to get good clean pieces. I got my front lenses cleaned from Sunway, depends it will cost you around 100-200. It does not really take that long.4. The relay powers the fan motor I believe. If your aircon cooling is alright, and aircon fan is working alright, then I suppose you need to get your compressor checked. However, if you are stuck/idling in daytime traffic for long time (and the cooling becomes less), rev the engine at higher rpm to check if the cooling improves, if not then have your compressor checked. The reason is,  because the engine rpm of the 318 is lesser as compared to 325, 328, the cooling also decreases when your are idling.</blockquote>
