You need the latest map data, obviously, and possibly a later firmware. Try the latest map data first because even if that's not enough on its own at least you'll have the latest maps.

However, I think it's a PITA - in really 'crowded' places like central London the fancy graphics obscure information you'd rather see, at least I think they do.

Mine does this when I go into Central London, as long as I have 3d maps enabled

From my experience, on the 2015 version, it works in my F10 like this in London, a small central part of Liverpool and a small central part of Manchester. Forget it in Stoke, Stafford, Warwick, Oxford, Blackpool, Chester, Bournemouth....I've not been everywhere yet obviously. Never seen it work anywhere else but maybe it's improving all the time...
I would also agree with xenon, I tend to switch it to 2D...

Birmingham city centre has 3d buildings and worcester cathederal shows up. I end up zooming out as the buildings block the view of the roads IMO.

My 2013 LCI does this, but only in Brighton, it is a bit of a gimmick really. The road detail is more important

My 2014 does this too, the town hall in Leeds is the only building that comes up regularly for me. Went to London last week and all of the important buildings appeared as above.

My 2010 car displayed Corfe Castle in 3d when I drove past it. Will probably be going past Stonehenge at some stage soon so will be interested to see if that appears.

In a similar post it was stated that, after enabling the 3D perspective map view and then using the interactive map, you can zoom in on any town and check for the existence of 3D perspective buildings. This saves you travelling to check

I've tried this on my MY 2012 F10 and it works.

Hit the Nav button on idrive to get the Nav screen up, then press the i-drive to the right, scroll to the bottom of the list, it says something like Navigation System Version, press on that . . .

Needs an update! I got an FSC code for £16 and went from 2011 to 2014. Very happy. Premium 2014-1 is latest I think but next version (2015 / 2014-2 ??) is any day now I think.

Please could you let us know where you found this? I spoke to the dealer about an upgrade for my 2011 F12 and was quoted just short of £300!
