More flawed logic. You're batting a thousand this morning!
The jack I suggest costs $300 because it offers far more capability to lift a far broader range of vehicles than the HF model. So, that's a far better level of performance, because it is more useful.

And yes, my opinion is the vast majority of BMW owners (leasers) have the brand because of the perceived prestige of the Roundel on the hood. Following and considering your train of thought regarding the usefulness of floor jacks vs. brand-name, as basic transportation, BMWs are a complete waste of money.
