Maintain it correctly with proper oil, clean filters, and perfect plugs, belts, etc. Put good quality petrol in it. Warm it up nicely (at least 10-15 minutes) untill you floor it. Let it cool down a bit too by driving the last 5 minutes or so before shutting it down nicely as wel (especially for turbo charged cars this is _VERY_ important)

For the rest, rev the hell out of it. It's made for it...

I do it with my BoxsterS, with my Mitsubishi EVO 8 MR RS and my wife's Peugeot 206gti all the time. Same for my former cars (Subaru Impreza and BMW e30 M3). No pain at all. Engines keep running as strong as ever.

And I will certainly do it with the "new to me" MY01 BMW e46 M3 I just ordered and gets delivered in 2 weeks. Woehahaha, a 8200rpm redline :-)
