Yessir. CMX is pretty easy to apply relatively speaking. Much easier than traditional waxing. One thing I found is that it is easiest to apply right after washing (i.e. while wet - without drying first). You just apply to an area, wait a few mins and then wipe with a microfiber cloth (it says to apply with a cloth but I spray it on directly). Def gives the car that nice "glassy" look and is supposed to last for a number of months (can't recall the exact timeframe). Pretty happy with it I must say.

The turtle wax hybrid ceramic that I just used claims to last for 12 months. If you're expecting it to look and last to the manufacturers spec though you'll have to clay bar/towel the car first.

25mm spacers in the rear make the car look phat

Also just a little comparison between my neighbours e70

Did you transplant the emblem from your door to the rear? I like that placement much better. Similar to the G05 X5 no?

Does anyone have any pictures of a CB X5 with carbon fiber rear diffuser with side fins and or tinted taillights? I'm trying to make up my mind on getting it or not! Im not really sure if it will stand out or blend in!

I had done that as a joke but got lazy and left it there I'm still on edge if I want to de badge the rear or black out the emblems

I was experimenting with badge locations too

[Cranswick852]

Each to their own, but central X5 badge above the rounded ... not for me. Lower badges look OK, but if you're going to split them, then I'd reverse them (50i on right)

Now that's a shot I would expect iconoclast to take!

The x5 badge location I would personally keep where it is factory but the rest you can do whatever u feel like. I was rock the drive 53 for a solid month and then switched to to normal

Ya I don't like the X5 in the middle I was just moving the badges around work scotch tape. I opted to keep it debadged. I do like the small badges the way you had them though.
