The V12 is twin-turbocharged and BMW doesn't want to make a race car engine out of it. It focused more on producing an engine which delivers a powerful amount of horsepower yet is VERY smooth and calm. The normal aspirated 6.0 liter V12 engine S70/1 fitted also in the McLarenF1 delivered 750hp so when BMW wants to do that, nothing is impossible.
