There is a big difference between n/a hp/liter and forced induction hp/liter. The Nissan is f/i so it certainly should do better than a n/a motor. Which BTW, the Dinan 380hp upgrade to the 3.0 TT is more hp/liter than the Nissan GTR. I don't know how far the Nissan motor can be taken but I guarantee you'll have warranty issues.
Furthermore, one is stock, and one is modified... Additionally, the GTR is seemingly making over 500bhp from the stock engine, despite its advertised rating of 485bhp.
Nissan's warranty issues on the GT-R have focused on the transmission, not the engine.

The GTR powerplant at 485hp from 3.8 liters has a higher specific output than Dinan's 380hp from the 3.0 TT engine.

I'm not sure I get your question, are you saying BMW does not have I6 engine with >3L displacement.
The S50B32 and S54B32 are 3.2 I6 (found on E36 M3 and E46 M3 and Z4M), and then there was the old 535 from the E28 (M30B34 I6).
BMW also makes V8 engines with > 3L displacement.
