Emissions testing cycle?

Picked up a "new to me" E53 last weekend. Having difficulty getting it *ready* to pass our local emissions inspection. It isn't failing, but simply reporting "not ready". I've put about 250 miles on it, mix of highway and commuting, all the emissions testing center has said is "drive it some more" but that is a little risky when I can't get the license plates until it passes. Anyone know what the *actual* driving cycle for a 2001 E53 (5sp manual, 3.0) is? I've found a couple of things on the internet but so far had no luck with them.

FWIW, I DO have an OBD2 ready and I can check for the VA emissions test myself before going to the shop, but still trying to get the "not ready" status to finally clear itself.
