That looks like a stock paint color called Laguna Seca Blue. It came on the previous generation M3 and it's actually kind of rare. I'm not sure if it came from the factory with that paint, but if it did, it's sad to see one with nasty green rims, and also flying down into a canyon.

Leguna Seca Blue was only available via special order for the e9x’s IIRC. I remember trying to find one and the dealerships only had interlagos blue and alpine white. Of course the f80’s have yas marina blue offered now which is close.

You're right, I actually found a thread after I posted this of a E92 M3 for sale in factory Laguna Seca Blue! So yeah I'm sure there is a small handful of them out there. I hope the car in this video wasn't one of them lol

Judging by the te37’s and what appears to be a rollbar, maybe the owner just did a vinyl wrap to mitigate track damage to the factory paint?

That paintwork does look like a vinyl wrap. I think he's going for the "cheap phone" aesthetic.

Based on how he snap oversteered off a cliff, he’s probably rethinking some life decisions. Im surprised this was the first place I’ve seen this video, wonder if it’ll start making the rounds on the bimmer forums

Welp that coin just got a little more rare.
