Cheap and flimsy jack handle 2021 G05

Driving on a two lane winding mountain road in Colorado, I ran over rocks that had rolled onto the road from the cliff side. Cut the left rear tire through the sidewall. Luckily we had the spare tire kit. No cell service so I started to change tire. BMW supplies the cheapest and most flimsy jack handle I have ever used. It is a short folding handle that offers no leverage to lift a heavy X5. After struggling in the rain , finally lifted the vehicle high enough to change the tire. A big "thank you" to Telluride Tire Service for ordering a tire and mounting the tire to keep us on our schedule. Anyone else had experience changing a tire with that handle? Any suggestions for a different handle?

Not sure if my jack is different but the jack that came with my 2021 X6 worked great. X6 up and down easily and quickly... I was surprised how easy it was. The wheel hangers made it even easier with my 22 inch wheels.
