Nothing but Short Trips

Curious as to the gruupe's feelings on this. I live in a location where I almost never need to drive more than five miles. Once in a while on a weekend, but not often. I actually thought about not buying my N55 E82 for this reason (all I need is a beach beater, really, but I love these cars and I love the BMW community, and so here I am). All these short trips are going to *kill* this motor. I try to mitigate this a bit by driving in a shorter gear than I might otherwise (i.e., cruising at 30mph in 2nd gear), but I'm not sure that even makes sense.

I'm going to have to find time now and then to let her out to run, I know that... but I'm wondering if there are any other strategies/thoughts for dealing with this?
