Well I just wanna show how the app works, It wasn't my best try at the drag strip. I was just having fun, and a friend of mine uploaded this video, it read the 0-60 and 1/8 in other videos
It also has other things

And is it me or do the revs (by ear) absolutely don't match up with the dial?
When you shift from 2 to 3 you're driving about 50mph... that's a bit low isn't it? Should be more like 60(+). Is it lagging or are the actual values completely off?
So something isn't communicating properly in your system, or the data doesn't belong with that particular race. (shifting at 6400rpm seems low. If it would get the right samples, but late, it would still give the correct value I think?).
Strange readings, like you live in a slow motion world or something (like taking some obscure party pills )

Is that a crack in your windscreen btw?
The track time was different, it read low 10's and i did hi 9's in other runs.
Definately it didn't match
I just changed to a faster communication in settings maybe it can fix it,
And yes I already called the insurance company to fix the windscreen.

When you use 'RacingMeter' be sure to set up the gearing defaults for your profile or the app will not show what gear you are in or when you shift.
You can set up the logging defaults for a more precise logging interval. Also, the quality of the bluetooth ODB adapter is the biggest factor here. Cheapo readers have issues.

The one PID that the app does not have and I cannot find on the internet is the BMW PID code for engine OIL temp.
I'm going to check that.
