There are a couple new model variations in the works that will be powered by the S55 yet to come. A M2 CSL debuting around the end of F87 life cycle. A more potent version of the M4 GTS has been seen testing, a 911 GT3 RS like competitor.
Not true.
The F83 M4 with the S55 will remain in production until 10/2020. A little over two years from now. The F87 M2 Comp with the S55 could continue a little past that, exact EOP is unknown at the moment.

They look like they could be the same interior. The carbon is inset from the piano black trim that borders the center console. There is more felt under hvac in OP photos. They also look to both be the yellow car, if you look at bottom driver door, see the yellow peeking through.
Actually, the Z4 M40i time by Sport Auto is 6sec faster than the Type R. Sport Auto did a 8:01 with a stock Civic Type R. The quicker factory time for Type R was done on semi-slicks, infotainment system and rear seats removed.
High hp B58 builds are currently breaking 600whp.
