Karam,
If you think you know why, please share your thoughts.. that can help us provide an answer.
Still, gromacs supports all periodic boundary conditions, except for real exotic stuff like spherical (and I can think of a few others). But any crystal packing can be handled. Maybe the easiest for you is to build a single bcc unit cell, with the correct lattice vectors as the box definition. Then run genbox to copy that a certain number of times. Also read the gromacs manual to understand the definition of the box (last line of the .gro file) if you haven't done so.

0.5 == 0 if the size is 0.5. If you've got the atom spacing right for 27
atoms in this configuration, then increase your box size to make the
periodic images go in the right spots. At the moment you are overlaying
atoms.

IIRC, a bcc lattice has two atoms per unit cell e.g . the central one and
eight eighths of an atom at each of the cube vertices. Thus I have no
idea what you're trying to do with 27 atoms.
