What is this on my roof?

Can you feel them? If so, I'll go with pine tar too. CarPro Tar-X and patience will remove them.
 
If it is pine pitch, isopropyl alcohol will remove it with very little effort.
 
I hope its not the CC. I will try some iso alcohol tomorrow.
 
Oh, I didn't realize there were 2 pictures there, I only looked at the second one originally. I see in that first picture a crazed spot that is likely from bird poop, that's a goner.

The remaining spots...are they raised up (like a blob of sap)? Honestly I'm not seeing what others were calling tree sap...all I see is that crazed spot, rock chips and scratches.

They are all not raised. I blasted the big spot with iso alcohol and then a clayed it. These two photos are flash and no flash.
 
I can't really say but almost want to say it looks sorta like crows feet or clear coat failing?
I've had similar looking thing where i guess it has something to do with paint breathing after sanded.

Yeah, that's a bad bird etch, that spot's a goner.

Is there anyway to cover that up temporarily, maybe with a nice glaze? I wanted to enter it into the battle of the bimmers at bimmerfest east next year. I don't know how harshly they judge the cars.

•IMO (speaking of judging):

-If you don't get the affected areas
of your vehicle re-sprayed...

-You might as well be wearing a
second-hand stainless-steel Rolex
and a Members Only jacket to the
2017 Bimmerfest East!

Yeah my car is too far gone to be any type of show car without a respray. It really a shame since most E36s are being ruined on the track or by teenagers.

From here:
That looks Chaotic...as though you
have created either a shiny fractal;
or, a tessellation (of-the-plane). :dunno:
