My 2015 F55 S arrived today and I needless to say I am ecstatic. Also, I am happy to report that the Satellite Grey interior (4C0) perfectly matches the default headliner (there had been some doubt as earlier (2nd gen?) headliners were more tan and less grey). The leather seats (T9GK) also match very well for a different material - basically perfect when overcast or under artificial light but shading a little more grey in direct sunlight.
As for the dash surface...I'm OK with the black check that comes with the S but may try to swap out the three pieces for dark silver (or fiber alloy). I'm glad I didn't order the dark silver (or fiber alloy) because it changes the door bezel to silver - which I think looks less good than the black bezel w/the black armrest against the Satellite Grey door (the black/black forms a nice swoopy curve). That said, I think going with the dark silver or fiber alloy is a reasonable option if you also choose the Satellite Grey color line (which also turns the armrest grey).
All in all I heartily recommend 'going grey' inside the Cooper - it looks really, really sharp. And it should be a good bit cooler in summer...especially under a white roof! (Pics in my garage...PM for further details/pics if you want)
