You are right and the big difference between them is VALVETRONIC
I know BMW did the same thing with 6 series (N63 and N63tu) to increase 45 HP and replaced the engine in 2013 models... I expected they do the same thing for 2015 model of X6M since the original S63 was modified for M5/M6 , but looks like they didn't
