For the X5, you want that nice green one on the top left for sure. I have that middle green one (in silver) and it sucks, it is still heavy, and can't do half of what the newer one does. I'm going to put it up for sale locally.
I also have that really small aluminum one in the bottom, Hugh Jackman jr, and it cant do anything. It isn't rated for the X5, and can't get it high enough for a jack stand, I tried. I couldn't even use it to support the subframe, had to use that other one.
Story time
I was leaving home depot the other day and there was a gentleman fully underneath his dodge neon fixing something in the parking lot with only the scissor jack. It was hard to just drive away.
A friend of mine had a neglected Porsche 944 turbo back in the day, really cool car, we lifted the back left corner to change the tire with the factory scissor jack, and the threads in the hole for the rod absolutely blew out and the car fell like a ton of bricks. It was scary as hell, and we were away from the car behind it.
