Do E60 have both Xenon Projector headlamps and Halogen Projector headlamps as an option? Or do the Halogen lamps only come in reflector form?

ok cool

How can you tell if your car is equipped with xenon vs halogen if it has projectors without pulling the bulb?

Color would be an obvious difference.

from ur picture in ur sig, u have halogens. To tell if u have halogens, check the headlight. Look at it and if u can see ANY bulb such as ur high beam bulb, u have halogens. if there's a cover over the inner light, that's the adaptive lights.

Here's a couple pix:

This is xenon headlamps:
