I wonder how you came about 100k miles exactly 
+1 for the MFU (miles for upgrade). MFU to Club World is generally regarded as the best value-for-money, and 45k miles sounds like a good deal SFO-BLR as you would get access to lounges, and spa and showers at LHR (very nice to have mid-trip on such a long haul).

economy/coach - BA call this World Traveller=WT)
premium economy - BA call this World Traveller Plus=WT+ (though also Premium Economy in some places)
Business - BA call it Club
First - BA amazingly call it First
Not all classes are available on all routes, then the question is what class do you want to fly and how - for example you could buy a ticket in one class and upgrade with your miles to the next one, or just buy it direct with all miles.
What the previous poster was saying , if you want to fly Business/Club, best value is buy WT+ and upgrade rather than use nearly all your miles in one go.

You can go to BLR for 90k miles return.
If not available, call BA to book your flight.
