I had an 89 260E. My biggest issues were all fluid related -- radiator leaks; head gasket leaks; valve cover leaks; transmission fluid leaks; you get the point.
You can drive those cars into the ground even when things are mechanically wrong. Nonetheless, I would give a lot of attention to climate control, and engine/fuel system cleanliness. (Little else matters if you are freezing in the winter/burning in the summer, or unable to pass an emmissions test.)
