The only reason you might need a higher quality jack is if you were using it professionally, day in day out. Then you may wear out a HF unit quicker... but wait a minute dont they have life time warranty on all their tools?!
Right... so there's absolutely no reason to spend more money for a label. Its idiotic.
Jack stands with special lifting points made for a BMW would be an exception for convenience but certain not safer by any means.

Yet we all drive BMWs...
