Didn't happen to be a BMW did it? It was a big issue for a while.

Nope. A quite old VW Polo. Not sure how it could be car specific.

Different brands use different formulations, apparently the brand that the dealership puts in at BMW/MINI doesn't play nicely with some of the brands from supermarkers.

More of an issue for newer cars though, I will give you that.

Because clearly BMW sells it's own special washer fluid for $40 a bottle.

Nah, BMW uses tablets for it's screenwash that are about £7 for six, each makes 5 litres. BMW Part number: 83122298202

Less shipping cost/environmental impact too.

30 litres for around £7 (plus a few pennies for water) doesn't seem bad to me.
