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?  |
BMW traditionally raced in white, and over here lots of people refer to Alpine White as the "Rennfarbe." They moved away from it for a short time, before returning in the 60s and the 90s.
Perhaps I should have stated it differently.
