Alpina?? Please Enlighten Me

[gazzdid]

Hi guys

Im currently looking at e60 530d's and have come across one with alpina badge on the front, back and on the rear armrest but the car is advertised as a bmw 530d. obviously ive emailed the guy to find out if its just been re-badged and is in fact a standard bmw.

this is the first alpina ive come across and was wondering whats the difference and which is better? or is it a matter of preference?

thanks
