Convertible top cylinders go bad unless rebuilt, I would check for history of service. Google Top Hydraulics for the all the service and info you need.

Otherwise nothing I recall being specific, other than being a 20-30yo German luxury car. Sounds like you can handle it if you made it through an ABC car, lol.
