We have been told this by someone at BA (on the phone) but I'm not sure if I can trust this information as points on the BA website that suggest that this is not the case (though the info on the website is very ambivalent, hence my confusion).
Thanks a lot for your advise!

1. Correct - you can only upgrade to the next class using miles
2. Not entirely true - to upgrade from Economy (WT) to Economy plus (WT+) you need to book a fairly high class (Y, B, H) which are quite expensive/flexible. To upgrade e.g. from WT+ to Business, you can buy any class.
The agent on the phone is correct.
