The S4 is very, very nice. I like it vastly better than any non-M E90 variant that I've driven (and prefer it in some ways to the M3 as well).
The 328iT seems like a lot of money for what you're getting. I'd just strike it from the list now. If you're looking to spend this much money, stretch a little more and get the S4.
The Countryman is reasonably priced and I have to imagine that the engine will be fine. It's not that slow, even with the extra weight.
