For many years, the fabled BMW M colors and M badge have had seemingly obscure origins. There were many competing stories and accounts as to the actual origins and meanings behind the tricolor. Now, BMW have finally broken the silence on the actual official origins of the famous blue, purple, and red stripes of the famed BMW M logo.
