The Sp is incharge of about three or four police stations, in layman's terminology he is the King of all that area and you can better imagine his power and influence in public and in Government. Whereas, what do you think what kind of powers would a finance manager carries? His power and authority is just restricted inside the boundries of his organization.

Don't compare the IG with an engineer with 25-30 years. Compare him to the chief executive of a major corporation. You will realize that his monthly salary alone can buy the 30 cars an IG never owns.
Now what other perks you want to compare? In this day and age, money buys everything. In fact many bureaucrats have been bought by wealthy people to grant them numerous favours. The power or prestige factor is to an extent still there but is nowhere near what our ancestors enjoyed before devolution.
You say that "at every stage a CSS officer is better placed than an engineer, MBA etc.". I highly doubt this. Believe me, many people in my family are buraucrats. At one stage they are Commissioners and CCPOs, while at one stage they are transferred to a remote station where they do not have any power or influence. Not even the vehicles you crave. I am not making this up. I am just stating what I have personally seen. While bureaucrats retire, most people forget who they were or what they had. The "30 vehicles" you speak of go away. The accomodation (if he even had any) is taken away. All he has to live on is a meagre pension in which he faces difficulty to make ends meet.

You are mixing Money with Power.
If you need money and luxuries , then ofcourse CSS is not your option.
Regardless of how much money a business executive or Engineer earn in a month, its not more then the power of a CSP officer. An MBA or an Engineer will still dependent on SP for his several works.
Political influence in bureaucracy is the problem of whole world, its not only in Pakistan. But keep in mind, politicians also depend on bureaucracy for their needs.
A finance minister do not make the budget, its "THE BUREAUCRATS" in Ministry of Finance who make the budget.
