In this paper, our focus lies in exploring the concept of Cohen-Macaulay dimension within the category of homologically finite complexes. We prove that over a local ring $(R,\fm)$, any homologically finite complex $X$ with a finite Cohen-Macaulay dimension possesses a finite \emph{$CM$-resolution}. This means that there exists a bounded complex $G$ of finitely generated $R$-modules, such that $G$ is isomorphic to $X$ and each nonzero $G_i$ within the complex $G$ has zero Cohen-Macaulay dimension.

Keywords: Cohen-Macaulay dimension, $CM$-resolution, $G$-dimension, totally reflexive modules
