Install the EU2 tune and run headers. The EU2 tune will turn the check engine light off although codes can still be recorded and read. I did this to my 2005 E53 due to cat efficiency codes...MA only tests for emissions for 15 yrs.
They're not likely both clogged. So sell them to help defray the cost of the header tune.

If/when I ever get my '01 back on the road (not driven since last fall), and I find problems with my cats, I'm certainly going to try the EURO2 tune (or maybe super-cheap cats. Or whatever.
In my part of Texas, your vehicle has to be 25 years old to skip emissions, and I was looking forward for the past five years to reach that milestone. I've got a '98 GMC that doesn't need inspections, and my '04 Chevy 2500HD is getting close.
If my X5 looked as good as yours, I'd spend as much as needed to keep it running (legally or not, hahaha).
