They do technically allow some Aeroplan award bookings into the Signature Suite

"Only Aeroplan flight rewards booked as a Business Class Flexible Reward or a First Class Flexible Reward in J, C, D, Z, P, I booking classes are eligible for access"

Was at the Signature Suite recently before a flight to Buenos Aires, and it was superb. The dining experience is better than I’ve had at any lounge, including the Lufthansa First Class Terminal and the Lufthansa First Class Wining & Dining (yes, that’s what they call it) Lounge at JFK. I would say the food is Michelin star quality.

Tangential Petty Rant:
The 'Eurowhite' liveries almost always look filthy! That alone should be a sufficient argument to end the trend!

Will riding in a Porsche instead of a BMW for a few tenths of a mile really make one feel more pampered and elite? The fact that is an electric or hybrid will also eliminate all feelings of guilt after one has just flown thousands of miles in business class (if you believe in man-made global warming and virtue signaling that is)

Pretty stupid decision to take a Porsche Taycan. It is a sports car with limited space in the fond. Nothing for tall people. I would prefer a Tesla Model 3. it is much more spacious.

Ideally they would have chosen an Mercedes EQS.

But the most important point remains, when can I fly electric?

Your comment about it being a nice upgrade, it seems you don't realize they are part of the same company, so it was probably not difficult for them to arrange this.

BMW and Porsche are not the same company.
