Not unless your goal is to end up in all of the threads on here and elsewhere making fun of poseurs who put ///M logos where the don't belong.

This is an excellent opportunity to understand why and how one woyld even consider doing so...

OP, can you please provide your rational and your initial intent on swapping badges?

What did you expect to "get in return" ?

They're not equipped with "M stuff"...they're actually M-Sport models, built as such from the factory. Yours (from what you initially stated) is a "Sport Line"

Was your car ordered and built as a "M-Sport" or "Sport Line"?

This is just a bad idea. The ONLY thing I would consider doing, and have actually done, is since my last name starts with an M I had a decal cut that was the ///M... with the colors. I put it inside the door jam of my father's car. No one ever sees it but him when he gets in and out, and he gets a kick out of it. Beside that, no extra ///Ms are ever acceptable IMO. There was a guy who built himself an M4GC dumped a ton of dough into it and he got flamed for the ///M.

Maybe the op just wants the extra horsepower? I believe each M badge is worth 11.625 hp. Can't remember the torque numbers, I'll double check the owners manual.

You should do what makes you happy. But in case you're wondering, anyone who knows BMWs will frown at you if they see it.

And spit, throw lit cigarettes at you and try to run you off the road. Or maybe that's just what I do.

I was joking, would have hoped that was obvious. I couldn't care less what anyone does with their own car, and have much respect for those who do what they want despite opinions of others. But if you are going to come ask for opinions on something like this of all things you can expect some good natured ribbing.

That said, if it makes you happy put M badges all over the thing then M badges on top of the first layer of M badges.
