You're talking about the 550i rear badge right? I'm not sure what you mean by front badge though. As for the rear, the body shop that installed my M tech body kit convinced me to debadge my car. I stood there as they went to work. It looked to me like the rear badge is stuck on with double-sided tape or strong adhesive. I think if you gave it a good pull it might come off.
As I re-read your posting I'm thinking you're talking about the blue/white roundel: One on the front of the hood and one on the trunk. That, I don't know.
