gauges with multiple readings

Which gauges of that kind (multiple readings) would you prefer for the R56S and why?

There are a few options:

1.) Scangauge - affordable but ugly

2.) p3car - expensive but nice looking, a little lacking in available PIDs

3.) ultragauge - cheap

4.) smart phone/app combo - inconvenient if it is not a dedicated install but gives the most options.

Arent there any round "multi gauges" that can give 2-3 readings per gauge? Im in favor of round gauges cause i believe they match minis style better!

I'll agree the Scan Gauge is "ugly". But given it's price, positive support, and oil temp readings.. It's a good deal.

The P3cars gauge looks interesting but very expensive. Anybody have experience with this? I've been leaning in the direction of the scan gauge but am always on the lookout for something better. Can't really beat the price point and functionality if the SGII.

I have the p3car gauge. I like it.

The pros:

1.) I like the looks
2.) Color matches perfectly
3.) Easy to work
4.) It will tell you peak readings
5.) It does have oil temp
6.) easy to see/read in all lighting conditions

The cons:

1.) expensive
2.) you only can scroll one way through the readings.
3.) No AFR
4.) Only one reading at a time
