Iv got an 07 335 & cannot get the catalytic converter monitor to ready no matter what i do! Ive done every drive cycle i can find ive done the specific bmw drive cycle probably 20 times or more ive driven thousands of miles ive changed the oil replaced all the coil packs & plugs, ive replaced the downstream oxygen sensors, i actually have 2 diff dme's & im running the original non-tuned dme. Idk what else to do i live in California so i can only have the evap monitor not ready. All my other monitors are ready only other thing obviously i can do is replace the catalytic converters but i really dont think there is anything wrong with them? Anyone have any ideas as to what i can do besides replacing the catalytic converters which i will do if it will fix my problem? Ive been messing with this for months now my car reg expired at the end of January & i cant get my tags till i get it smogged. Any advice would be very much appreciated thank you!

My F150 was throwing CAT codes because there was a loose muffler bearing. Have you done any exhaust work and perhaps the downstream sensors are being affected?

You said, "the" converter, as if there is only one. There are two. There is only one monitor though....

Have you tried doing a Google search on, 'catalytic converter not ready for emissions'. Lots of links show up.

Have you checked the temps at the entries and exits of the cats?

Are you gonna eat that?
