This 'feature' is disk dependent. As far as I know all genuine BMW CD map disks do not have postcode information (but I'm not 100% sure about the latest disks from 2006). You can get VDO disks that will work in the MK III that do have postcodes on.
The DVD map disks from 2006-2 do have postcodes on them.
The Postcodes are not implemented fully on either disk, only the first 4-5 characters, they are implemented as a 'City' - better than nothing but not briliant.
In the US the latest Nav software and latest disk are supposed to support full ZIP code entry, this may be comming to the UK in the next software/disk update.
The TMC (not TMS) that you see on your screen is the Traffic Message Channel that notifies you of traffic holdups. If the letters are in red then the map disk you have does not have TMC codes that are required to recieve the messages, the latest BMW CD map disks MAY have the codes on, the VDO disks are available with and without them on.
This is the VDO disk with codes :
