Rust spots

Off to see a touring (again!). Full leather, cruise control, darkened glass, sunroof... 600 quid!

Can someone remind me what the rust areas are on these beasts, especially considering there's a sunroof involved. I've had a Merc W123 which was rotten from the sunroof, so I'd love to hear that it shouldn't be a pain.

would also check rear arches as well as these tend to go on E30s, have just rebuilt my entire rear arch this afternoon, the area inside the rear arch/quarter panel can also rust, mine had rusted right the way through so had to but some P40 on it :D... car cancer :(
