Simple google search rendered this info
Here's the official version..... The first Red stripe represented Texaco, the famous American oil retail brand, who had partnered with BMW during the early days of M racing. Blue represented BMW and Bavarian region. The purple was used to represent the partnership and to allow for a nice transition between the two colors, blending as some may call it. Once the BMW/Texaco partnership ended, BMW had to buyout Texaco for the rights to the red. For those of you that are in the imaging or graphics field, here are the color names and codes used in the ///M stripes: Pantone: Blue ? Pantone Process Blue Purple ? Pantone 268 Red ? Pantone Warm Red Paint: blue violett GLASURIT-BMW 4000 light blue GLASURIT-BMW 5002 red GLASURIT-BMW 353 RGB: Blue ? 0 138 201 (Hex: 008AC9) Purple ? 43 17 90 (Hex: 2B115A) Red ? 241 26 34 (Hex: F11A22) Pantone = color process (order) used by printing shops to define colors. Paint = in this case it is refering to a GLASURIT paint code. Or a specific mix of auto paints. RGB = Red, Green, Blue. The same process your computer monitor or TV uses to make colors. Now don't ask me about how they stick the logo's onto the cars. 3M technology is just way too complicated QUOTE

and mostly incorrect.
Starting with the Texaco deal never materialized. so the rest is internet myth like buyouts. Quote: The “red” was supposed to be the hook for Texaco. However, prior to BMW actually putting an M Division product on the field, the deal between BMW and Texaco fell through.
