I also keep it on a smart trickle charger. I did that with my Z3 and the battery lasted a very long time. Your points about inflating the tires to avoid the flat spots and filling the gas tank are good ideas that I will follow.
Yeah, you're probably quite right that driving the car a little every now and then is good for it. I would do that here, except that we get so much wet heavy snow here, and the town is constantly applying road salt, that the streets are almost never clean and dry enough for me to dare to drive the car on them. But if that's not the case where you are, then go for it!
