Default Audi vs BMW

If you were 60 and going to retire in 6 or 7 years...and you wanted a sporty car that you could pay off by the time you retired and keep the car without a monthly payment for a 10 year period...what would you go for......
BMW 328 Xi coupe , another A4 2.0 T (rather have a coupe than sedan), lease a car for 3 years and then buy an A5 (price dependent)or some other AWD sporty coupe ? I want Quattro or the equivalent, so that narrows the field here in PA.

Default 328xi. Classy car that should still look great in 3 or 5 or 10 years.

Yes, if the 328xi is the coupe or convertible. If the 328xi is the sedan or wagon, it looks like garbage already and will look more and more like garbage as time goes on.

Default A4/S4, but I'm biased.

I test drove a 330i with sport package and while I really, really liked the steering feel, transmission and seats I still got a "meh" feeling overall.
