My Ride: 2008 528i: Silver/Black/Light Wood, ZPP, ZCW, STEP, Comfort Seat, Heated Rear Seat, PDC, Xenon, Nav, iPod. 35% ceramic tint, VentureShield clear bra.
Beige is one tone. Natural brown has the 2 tone. I would stick with natural brown. Beige will get dirty easily, and your jeans will stain them in no time. Black carpet is also better than the light color - dirt will always show up, but in black you can vacuum them, while in light color once it's dirty it remains that way.

I have Creme Beige w/Anthracite headliner -- love it. I wanted the Natural Brown/Anthracite because it looks SO GOOD. My wife actually talked me out of it. When you get the Anthracite headliner with the Beige (either one) it "darkens" up the car quite a bit, and you get more of the contract in color effect. I'm very pleased with it. Either way, you'll be happy -- the real question is: What color do you want your carpet to be? I know, the lower door panels and center console are black if you get the Natural Brown, but if you don't want black carpet...

My Ride: Stock '08 550i with the M5 aerodynamic OEM package
As mentioned above, the creme beige is VERY light - almost too light IMHO. You've really got to watch for anyspots and clean them immediately so they don't become permanent. Also, I'm thinking about purchasing a second set of floormats(driver's side) just because it shows every little spec of dirt and not all come out. Don't worry - I won't put a plastic sheet over them
