Usually the difference will be in the number of turbos. RR usually gets 4, BMW gets 2.
Just because you can extract that power doesn't mean it is good. There are NA V12s which would achieve that hp/litre level (Ferrari V12). The layout seems very conventional 60degree V12 with the turbos hanging off the side. I would also bet that the engine is very heavy and consumes a lot of fuel, not that the latter matters so much. I cant check right now, but I can also bet that the engine doesnt feature the newest technologies BMW has in valve control such as variable valve timing or so. And did you just say that RR gets 4 turbos? 4 turbos? Where did you get that information from?
