Can attest to the non-BMW washer fluid, or just not blue washer fluid in general. Ran into the issue with my previous F30. Filled it up with generic blue washer fluid with no problem. Winter time came around and filled it up with generic winter blend washer fluid, albeit in a more purple color. Car kept reporting low washer fluid even though fluid is practically overflowing. Took it into the dealership and was immediately told BMW won't cover it under warranty and had to fork up a $145 diagnostic fee. Luckily it was solved by flushing the reservoir with water.
I was ordering a replacement key card and noticed the washer fluid behind the counter. Asked the SA to add a bottle to the order and he gave me it for free instead. If I do that 30 or so more times, I might be able recoup the diagnostic fee haha
