What? Official color? What does that mean?

That color didn't even exist in the early days of Motorsport. For decades, Chamonix was the white color on BMWs. That's even one of the two available colors on the iconic 2002turbo, arguably the first production BMW sporting M-colors from the factory.

Even the first true "M" cars, the M1 and the M535i, weren't Alpine.

So, I'm not sure what you mean by "official", particularly in reference to the 50th anniversary?
