I'm going down to Spartanburg, SC with my father to pick up his New 1 series M Coupe (VO) and I'm going to get some painters tape for the ride back to PA. Hopefully I can find the green tape. Do you guys know where they sell the Green painters tape? What paint store? Online?

OP: Hope you have luck with your choice. I think that you should go for the Green tape, I've used blue painters tape on my brother's freshly restored/fresh paninted E30 M3 for a trip from PA to Savannah, GA. No stone chips & No issues with the tape removal either.
