At launch (SOP 09/2000), the E46 M had the following M colors:
Imola Red II, Laguna Seca Blue, Carbon Black, Phoenix Yellow
The E9x M had the following M colors at launch (SOP 05/2007):
Silverstone II, Interlagos Blue, Jerez Black, Le Mans Blue
For the F8x, at launch:
Sakhir Orange, Silverstone II, Austin Yellow, Yas Marina Blue.
Granted, it's arguable whether Carbon Black and Le Mans Blue can be considered 'M-specific' but that's besides the point as they were colors available at launch for the respective generations from M GmbH's color palette nonetheless.
Still, I certainly remember the F8x being critiqued by some for not offering a wide enough selection of proper primary colors at launch (blue was smurf, 'red' was orange-ish, yellow was mustard, etc.)
For the G8x, the confirmed colors thus far seem to address the shortcomings of the initial F8x color offerings, with a proper red (Toronto), green (Isle of Man), two shades of blue (Tanzanite & Portimao), a bright yellow (Sao Paolo), and your White/Black/Grey for everyone else.
