The 35i 3.0 turbo is just as quick as the 4.4i NA on paper. I have no experience with the 4.4i NA though, but my 35i is pretty darn quick. If the OP is happy with 4.4i performance and wants lower maintenance, the 35i can match 4.4i performance while being cheaper than the 50i to maintain.

There is no 4.4 naturally aspirated e70 (at least not in America). That’s why I thought you were referring to the 50i, which is a 4.4 but obviously not NA. The n62b48 isn’t all that much faster than the 35i based on 0-60 alone, but they drive very differently.
