As far as I know, it's a software activation. I think early on there were ilegal ssues with specific countries so I can't list each and every scenario but I think the US cars are now activated (and early E60's can be activated via software upgrade.)
One thing I've been waiting for (and have been too busy to do it myself) is for someone to prove this by posting a video of the lights coming on. I wanted to do this during the winter (easier to activate ABS in the snow) but never got a chance.
The following thread will either help answer questions or add to the confusion:

I've heard from Hobi, if I may quote him, that the brake force tail lights is a software issue and will be fixed with the coming September CIP (software).

The link to the thread which Rudy has mentioned above was created by me. If my cause some confusion initially but in the end the Brake Force Display was finally activated. 
Yes it was just a software update. Dealer would obviously have to look in the correct place to do which was update the light module software.
