thats a VERY concentrated gallon of windshield wash.
typically you need a few ounces per gallon.
Don't put that in your washer resovoir, the ammonia will eat away at the rubber lines over time. (dry them out from the inside).
Add some lemon juice and it'll hide the ammonia odor too.

Add a little bleach and it'll be disinfected too.
Just get the BMW fluid.
What's wrong with a Windex and distilled water mix?

Don't put Windex in the washer bottle. I did that once, it smears by the wipers, then 2-3 seconds later wipes clean as the smear dries.
It also ruined the washer nozzles because it bubbles up as its sucked in by the washer motor and clogged up and dried up in the nozzles.

That mix is likely to "burn" paint...be careful, very careful, with that...I'd recommend no more than 1 oz per gallon of any cleaning brew...or better....
...for those NOT worried about freezing mix...
For the thrifty among us, 1qt of actual autoglass wash ($2-3gal, I like RainX windshield mix) to 1 gallon of water...that $2-3 gallon should now last a couple of months...again, THIS is NOT for winter/sub 32°F/0°C use.

"Mixing bleach and ammonia is extremely dangerous, since toxic vapors will be produced. The primary toxic chemical formed by the reaction is chloramine vapor, with a potential for hydrazine formation."
Do not mix bleach with any other cleaner! There are many stories of people getting hurt, even killed by this!

I have been mixing Windex and water 50/50 for the last 20 years with great results.
