OBDII Temps on phone app?

I’m trying to trouble-shoot a 2009 r55 Clubman S overheating problem that may be the result of a warped head. I’d like to monitor cooling system temp, oil temp, and oil pressure while driving. Is there a bluetooth dongle/app. combo that would let me monitor this on my phone while driving? Ultimately I’d like to install 3 analog gauges to monitor these 3 conditions, but I need to make sure the engine can be saved before investing in a gauge package.

I'd have to check mine, but I know BlueDriver has multiple live readouts, but don't recall if all 3 of those are an option

Thanks, I found my old iCarly wifi dongle, and it connected to OBD2Fusion and displayed at least oil temp and coolant temp.

You won't find an OBDII app that will show you oil pressure. That requires a separate gauge.
