It lost to a Lexus 460L for overall top score

That number is "overall road test score". From the 2013 auto guide, the 135 coupe 6MT score of 97 is 1st in category and 2nd among ALL vehicles they tested, The Lexus 460L got a 99.

I'm actually surprised by the rating, as CR typically isn't a fan of BMWs

Other BMW models in the survey:
F30 328i: 86 (2nd behind the G37 with a 95)
535: 81 (10th, Audi A6 quattro was 1st with 93)
750Li: 74 (7th of 8 cars in the category, Lexus 460L was 1st with 99)
328 vert: 76 (4th, VW EOS was #1 with 78)

SUV scores are lower, I guess that would be expected if this is a "how it drives" evaluation
X3x28i 80 (1st in category)
X5x35i 69 (12th of 21, Lexus RX450h was 1st with 88)
