You can reset the ECU, drive around with a scanner plugged in (following routines similar to the published drive cycles needed to complete each test)...and when you get all but the O2 test cleared, park it at your inspection place to have tested. Less of a PITA than swapping the DP (really that much harder an AWD vs. a RWD?)
Hopefully those guys on the E90 forums (Canadian I think?) getting close to a cheap fix come through....

The evap clears and then the O2 trips the light right away. I used a tester for a while before my inspection to see if I could beat the system and pass with 1 in a not ready state, but it just doesn't work. My buddy is my inspection guy too and it's just easier to swap the cat back in and then back out and bang it out in one day.
I know Jack from Miami on the Facebook E84 forum was going to make exhausts systems soon so maybe we can get him motivated with a few buyers lined up.
