The original evaps were made of two different metals (copper and aluminum unless I'm mistaken) leading to galvanic corrosion leading to leaks.
August '92 Mercedes switched to water based paint and started with the biodegradable wiring harnesses in '93 i.e. sparks and rust, respectively.
W124 are popular "youngtimers" in Germany. One of the leading German car magazines has an excellent article here on the model's strengths and weaknesses. Use google translate:
