BHP is basically what HP the engine produces if it were say, tested in a lab. No accessories hooked up to it, no transmission, none of that. The RWHP is the HP that is seen at the wheels and what is put to the ground. It is lower than BHP due to the losses from the transmission, various pumps on the car, friction etc.

Get it?
