That looks like it has a little too much red to be Natural Brown to me. So hard to tell from a picture. For example, @cjhinpa has a new interior that looks very NB in a couple photos he posted, but is in fact not NB, it’s a custom reupholster.

I know factory NB sedans and tourings have black center armrests. Do factory NB coupes / convertibles? The one in the photo above is seat color.

like I said, CARAMEL. you can see in this (poor over exposed) photo it also has the matching center armrest. and seats have Nappa grain leather not Montana grain. as well as the seat backings are done in same color leather.
rare interior : Walknappa Caramel

OP there should be a build sticker under back seat with dates and color codes from BMW

except you have not shown adequate reasoning to back it up. like showing the type of leather grain (Nappa), how it’s specially done to the backsides of the seats. even having the matching center armrests for this color. does Natural Brown come like this for any? Natural Brown although not common was still a stock option. And the stock options interior leathers did not come with those. only as special orders. will admit it is difficult to tell exactly the color hue in these photos than in real life. with that said it has more characteristics to Cinnamon Nappa than NB in my humble opinion.
one last point you may also notice it’s a convertible like all the examples shown of Caramel Nappa.
