Default How to identify my car is E60 or E39

Hi,
I am newbie here, I just purchased the BMW 2010, Series 535i, sedan. Base on the sticker on the door, the car was made on 05/2009 and released as 2010. I wonder how do I identify my car is E60 or E39 body stype.

You don't say where you are from but the 535i is a US model.
The exact model year the E39 ended and the E60 began will depend upon where you bought your car (E60 was released in Europe one year earlier or 2003).
2010 will be E60 in US.

Here are all the models up until 2008.
