dear sergey .
ouch !
I must admit I live in fear of a similar thing happening to me because I know what the insurance company is going to say

like you I like the gearing on my 3.7FL sport hence wouldn't consider a S8

by sheer coincide my daughter visited yesterday and asked if ~I would like to change to her A4 avant tdi as it has been maintained irrespective of cost and has spent it's life on the motorway , she commutes from the new forest to farnborough !

reading your comment about ,if need be , putting your car aside pro tem and reshelling it later ~I thought I would mention that I would probably be parting with mine in about a year ; it's a year 2000 ,silver, 115k , been in the family 15 years , maintained by an audi specialist

big pluses

never had a shunt [but bumpers need repaint , couple of trolley dings on boot lid]
factory fitted tow bar
replacement transmission fitted 95k [ from ZF via audi agent ...don't ask the price ]
no cam tensioner noise

so as you might imagine , am only thinking of changing for a car again in the family !

probably of no interest to you but just in case ....already had an unsolicited offer from somebody who MOT'd it but not currently available !
