\\\\  Integral Field Unit (IFU) spectroscopy is a valuable tool to explore the spatially-resolved kinematics and stellar populations of galaxies. The SAURON \citep{ZEEUW02} and ATLAS$^{3D}$ \citep{CAPPELLARI11a} surveys have used IFU spectroscopy to explore a significant sample of early-type galaxies in the local Universe. \citet{KUNTSCHNER10} and \citet{ATLAS3D} presented the stellar population analysis of the SAURON and ATLAS$^{3D}$ samples, respectively, finding that 40 per cent of the galaxies typically show contributions from young stellar populations connected to low mass, fast rotator systems. In contrast, they find that slow rotators are generally consistent with old ($\geq 10$ Gyr) stellar populations. The most massive systems (stellar mass $\geq 10^{10.5}$M$_{\odot}$) have the flattest metallicity gradients. However, the ATLAS$^{3D}$ sample contains 21 galaxies with dynamical masses greater than $10^{11.3}$M$_{\odot}$, and only one of those is a BCG (M87).  \\\\  \citet{JIMMY13} analysed the kinematics and photometry of a sample of 10 BCGs observed with the VIMOS IFU, of which 4 have close massive companions. If BCGs were the product of many minor mergers they would be expected to be slow-rotating galaxies. \citet{JIMMY13} found that 30 per cent of the BCGs in their sample are fast rotators. The simulations of \citet{NAAB13}, predict that angular momentum mostly depends on the gas content of the galaxies involved in the interaction, suggesting that the slow or fast rotation could be a temporary state.\citet{JIMMY13}, also find through photometric analysis \citep[$G-M_{20}$;][]{LOTZ08} that 40 per cent of the galaxies in the sample have undergone a minor merger within the last 0.2 Gyr.
