or a super low cost Pittsburg option: https://www.harborfreight.com/15-ton-low-profile-aluminum-racing-floor-jack-with-rapid-pump-64545.html
You also have to consider the maximum height it can jack. I have a similar 1.5 ton low profile aluminum jack from harbor freight. It works well on my MC, but doesn't go up far enough to lift my e53 X5.
