Just routine maintenance. I don't baby it and I don't beat it. Some spirited driving on the way home from work everyday, but other than that, just normal driving
I think this is (in most cases) the best thing you can do to a car to preserve it's longevity...

I've got an '05 with 165k miles and she's strong. There hasn't been a problem I couldn't fix in one afternoon. Here's everything I can think of besides normal maintenance that I've had to replace:

Trunk struts ($30)
Trunk bumpers ($0)
Amp relay ($3)
Clock spring ($20)
Driver side handle ($50)
Passenger side handle ($50)
Crankshaft position sensor ($50)

Labor is free since it's so easy. I think full bushings replacement will be happening soon.

The DE will last a long time if you take care of it. I abused the chit out of my old G35.
