Front badge when swapping to black grills

I want to get black grills for my F82 but I was wondering if I would have to buy grills that have the badge or if I can swap it over from the chrome grill?

Also if there isn’t a way for that, what is the process like for swapping the surrounds only? And if anyone has a link to gloss black surrounds that would be greatly appreciated.

I believe the M3/M4 logos just clip onto the front kidney grill vertical slates.

OEM Black kidney grills with high gloss surround:

They were molded into the grilles on my 2015. It might have changed in later years, but I'd prefer molded in so people can't just steal the M4 badge off. This is the back of my chrome ones.

Appreciate the help! I think the method now is to just swap the surrounds with any pair of normal black grills.

No doubt - probably cheaper that way!

I didn't reinstall the badge when i put my black grills on. Think it looks cleaner.
