i have not clicked on it as i will not click on links in an email. I have logged into my BAEC account through my normal means and see no reference to needing to update my email address.

anyone else get this and is it a phishing attempt?

Not got it but you should be able to see where the link is pointing to by hovering over it, or alternatively have a look at the HTML source code and see where it points to. There is a BA fraud department who might be interested in this as well, hopefully a BA staff member will be along shortly with the email address.
