Color wheels?
I need to buy a replacement wheel and i'm not sure which color silver to buy. The website has "hypersilver" and "All painted silver". The picture posted is the one I have now. Any ideas?

I'm pretty sure the stock wheels are "all painted silver." But I recommend you contact the vendor and ask them. I Googled "hyper silver vs silver" and found this description on a BMW Forum site from VMR Wheels:
The Super Silver & Hyper Silver look almost identical in photos. The real difference would have to be seen in person. Our Hyper Silver is applied with a Metallic Black base coat with a Metallic Silver top coat, giving off a more darker and pearl like finish at low light. Our Super Silver finish is only applied a Silver base coat and a silver top coat.
The thread for the above quote with pictures is at http://forum.e46fanatics.com/showthread.php?t=695911. The Hyper Silver has a light gun metal appearance. The Painted Silver looks like, well, painted silver: like the finish on silver car, but not as smooth and glossy.
