The E46 has worse PS issues unless you change fluids to something that reduces cavitation (like redline ATF). The feeling of cavitation is that the feel of the wheel changes with RPM, an example is the turn in after braking after a high rpm burst. Hell the leaking PS hoses on the E46 were considered "normal" by BMW.
The steering system performance has been rock solid on my E90 so far. It's a superior design to the E46.

I like the idea of not topping it off.... simple solution to yet a simple problem. We'll see if it becomes a bigger problem over time, but so far no reason to think so.
