Prep for BCG interview for an experienced applicant

I managed to get an interview at BCG for a generalist consultant position next month. I am currently in my 2nd year at a second-tier consulting firm.

Wanted to get some advice from members on how to best prepare for both fit and case interviews.

Its been >3 years since I last interviewed for consulting (went through B-School recruiting and got a summer offer which I converted to FT) I am guessing its going to me a combination of books and online resources. Would love to know where to focus on given the limited time I have to prepare. For fit, I would like to primarily focus on "Why BCG?" (i.e., culture, etc), and for case, focus on Interviewee-led case styles that BCG prefers.

Any suggestion/help is much appreciated!
