I live in Panama and we're lucky to have a strong middle class and no starving children, and yes, we do have as many BMW's as taxis (as in, it's impossible to find a parking lot that holds more than 15 cars and NOT find a bimmer), but even when you go to places like Bolivia, Honduras or Guatemala you'll find plenty of expensive cars.
Most people in LatAm that own a BMW, however, will not post in your forum because:
a) Forums are NOT popular here. People simply don't use them.
b) They speak Spanish or Portuguese, not English, as their native tongue.
So the next time you care to opine using overly generalized terms please keep in mind that the value of your opinion will be equated to your own intellectual value.

Wow, i guess you took their comments to the HEART!
I do'nt know man... I've been in Mexico for a week, haven't seen one Bimmer, I've been to peru and in all the time i've been there (1 month) i've only seen one bimmer. I've been to brazil for one week and seen many audi's and 1 e46. I understand how people their do not post on Forums, that i believe is 100% true, and in south america they do speak spanish and portuguese (hence South America). That is their 1st language. It's cool that Panama has so many bimmer that there are taxi cabs full of them. Would be something cool to check out.
