Q of Windshield Cleaner

So my car was delivered without closure of the windshield cleaning system cap and i did not notice till the on-board computer indicates low level. Crap!!!

Move on. I've ordered some suspension parts along with the cleaning fluid.

Come with two cleaners in my order:

1. BMW Window Cleaner with Anti Fog - basically a spray bottle i could use for rear and side windows. Good.

2. BMW Windshield Washer Antifreeze - I am bit confused with this.

So the Q:

BMW lists another product: BMW Windshield Cleaner Concentrate without Antifreeze. So the BMW Windshield Washer Antifreeze basically is the diluted cleaner added with antifreeze right? Or i have to purchase the BMW Windshield Cleaner Concentrate and dilute it with the Antifreeze by myself?

If the BMW Windshield Washer Antifreeze is all i need, how much do i need to fill in the system then?

Late for research, thanks for your answer. Yang

for winter... BMW Windshield Washer Antifreeze.
for summer... BMW Windshield Cleaner Concentrate without Antifreeze.

I think teh system holds 4L or 5L. Its stamped(molded) onto the fill cap.

I use the "Antifreeze" concentrate mixed with water. It cleans quite well and smells exactly the same as the fluid which originally came in the reservoir.

Tom, how you dilute them? I mean the ratio of "concentrate" and water. And, the antifreeze does not seem to be concentrate to me, may be i am wrong.
