I see the Hypercar BoP has been released, can't see the GT3 anywhere yet?

That looks like a lot of boosts for Ferrari, the car that's won Le Mans the last 2 years and has a clear advantage in WEC so far this season!

Is there a further review of BoP after practice and qualifying?

No, or at least there shouldn't be. The rather fked up schedule of events more or less precludes it anyway. Wednesday see the 3 hour FP1 session, followed just 4 hours later by the "qualify for hyperpole qualifying" session at which point 6 cars are already out of the running. Give those cars a BoP boost and logically you're admitting the BoP was wrong and the wrong BoP is why they didn't make hyperpole. Change more/everyone's BoP and suddenly the fastest car going in to hyperpole/the race might not be the fastest one in the race. And any hint of this risks teams trying to game the system - let's face it grid position in a 24hr race is nothing more than a newspaper headline and most teams would swap that for a performance advantage for every lap of the 24 hours.

Just listening to the coverage of the test day on Radio LM and BoP was mentioned. It was said that it wasn't set in stone. They said that in the past it had been changed after free practice and once even after final qualifying.

Set up nicely for Porsche, and BMW could have a chance. Power to weight and high speed power have both had nice top ups. It's a high speed track for the most part.
