What's a good floor jack, and does anyone know about an AC (Danish) floor jack? If so what model number works well for an E60 car?

I bought a Torin Black Jack 2.5 Ton low-profile floor jack with a 360 degree rotating handle. I'm not sure how high-quality it is versus others. If I recall correctly, it was maybe $35-$40 at Auto Zone? Anyway, it worked out fine for me when I put on my new wheels last October. It came in a black plastic carrying case, so it stays clean and is easier to store on the shelf in my garage.
