You cannot upgrade BA metal flights like you can an AA metal flight.

You can use AA miles to upgrade a BA flight however you must be on a full fare basis, it's usually cheaper to just buy discount business. Also these upgrades are only one class so to upgrade to business you must be in premium economy.

BA does offer upgrades with avios but you cannot just transfer AA miles to avios.
