As you can see, I ordered the same color combo, with the exception that I went with Light Poplar trim instead of Bamboo...
I think that you'll be very happy with your choices.

White is a nice color (as black).

It goes with everything.

Nice choice!

You may add Anthracite headliner that will cover roof and pillars(if you do not like Std. gray roof and pillars...)

+1 Natural brown looks funny with the gray headliner.

The lighter colored interior will look fine but it is more of a hot climate color combo from my perspective , The sport package comes with the dark black headliner which will look fine but I would go black interior with AW.
IMHO
Cheers

Hi,
I think AW + NB should be a nice combo! It needs 19" wheels though.

They had a 520d M-Sport on 19s (M172s) , AW, NB and Bamboo trim at the Frankfurt International Motorshow and it looked hot! Basically the same spec as you suggest above.

I say go for it, providing you can keep that AW clean
