You need 2 things:
The RDS-TMC enabled radio
The TMC enabled map

You can buy and fit the radio easily

But if BMW never released the TMC-enabled map, then it is all a waste of time.

You see, the map contains a database which decodes each TMC numeric location to a specific spot on a street. The database is different for each country. And if the database doesn't exist on your map, then nothing will work.

To add the database you must be an expert on mapping systems and TMC data (I am not), it would be a job similar to jailbraking the iPhone.
