+1 i'd say on the previous i-drive version in my E92 and E60's there were times when TMC messages took a while to be downloaded/available and I just put that down to the signal being unvailable (also noticed same thing in wife's audi with TMC).

have to say in my F11 TMC seems (not that i've really been monitoring it) to be always there very quickly and never noticed it being unavailable (yet). seems to be improved from previous generation system. my car is DAB fitted so not sure if having DAB improves or speeds up receiving TMC at all...shouldn't do in theory.
