The auto mags do this all the time. I think it's their way of goading manufacturers in to bringing more performance models to market. They're comparing the A45 AMG to the M135i because the M135i is the most performance oriented car currently available in the BMW compact car segment. Their reasoning could be that making these comparisons creates an incentive for BMW to bring an M2 to market.
