The reason I say that is because I have yet to see any pictures of the M2 in LBB which looks like the LBB color on the X6M in this video. I've seen Pictures of other LBB X cars (X5M, e.g.) also showing the distinct greenish teal.
On the other hand, every picture (under various lighting) of an LBB M2 I've seen so far shows a much truer blue and not that much teal in the hue at all. Certainly, no where close to the teal showing on the X6M in the video.
It wouldn't be the first time BMW slightly altered a paint formula and left the name the same. For example, the paint titled "Blue Water Metallic" on the E39 series cars has noticeably less blue in it than the paint titled "Blue Water Metallic" on later 3 series cars. In this case, I guess they just wanted to bring the blue out a bit.

It looked like this video to me (on an M2) in person.
