are xd and xdm sights interchangeable. i got some nice sights for my xd. considering geting an xdm, and wanted to know if i could transfer them to the xdm.
The Trijicon sights are the same for XD and XDm, they are model sp01

They are likely interchangeable.
I had Truglo Tritium sights installed on my XDM. I like them better than the original sights. I find that the either front sight is narrower of the rear sights further apart crating a bit of white space between them and helps my aim.
Also a friend pointed out that getting the Fiber Optic front sight reduced the distance between front and rear sight making aiming more difficult. I went with the tritium sights only.
I'm quite sure that they are interchangeable. In fact, a friend of mine just had Springfield install Trijicon sights on his Service XD & the Springfield rep said the sights they used for his gun were the same that go on the XDMs.
Did your friend say how much he payed for Springfield to install his new sights?
About $120. He got Springfield to pay shipping both ways because of an unrelated issue, but typically you have to pay shipping to them and they'll cover it on the way back. It's always cheaper to send the slide than the whole gun, btw.
