Honestly, get out of here. You basically just said anyone with a luxury car is a drug dealer or a spoiled brat.

I can name PLENTY of people I know who have exotics or luxury cars and they treat them like gold, but some people dont like cars. Some people just want a nice ride and a luxury car, so they go buy a BMW and treat it like theyd treat a honda. It was expensive, but they dont care about cars. To them its just another appliance. It has nothing to do with being spoiled or "falling into money".

Because they are not anal-retentive neurotics? (Just a guess)

Because they are leasing the car (odds are) rather than buying it.

well they probably are not car people. i bet you wont see the same thing if it was a m5. just because you drive a fancy car that doesn't mean you love cars and treat them nice.

5 series BMW's are the Toyota Camry's of rich people. You either care about the cleanliness of your car or you don't. Money isn't going to change your opinion on that.

And this is completely wrong

It all depends on the person and how they are raised. I know a lot of rich people who are down to earth, work hard for their money and take care of what they own.
