Not very keen on the sound of the S65 at idle but, hey, it goes like stink. So, if you can afford it, go for it! You only live once...

Yes, I'd go for it....Since it's a friends you know the history. W221 S65 is one of the finest cars on the road. 
vs Cl65, depends on your needs. I normally prefer sedans but I'd take the CL unless rear seat room or seating for 5 was a prime concern.

Re E55, S65 or CL65
The CL65 should be quicker and more nimble. Its 'CL' body is also rarer than the now fairly common 'S' class.Logic, to me, would therefore seem to be on the side of the CL65.
Having said that though, there's something surreal about a large saloon snapping at the heels of a Murcielago on the autobahn.Especially as the wife and kids can come along in supreme comfort. I like! So, for me, it's got to be the S65...
