It appears the plastic caps that cover the nut at the base of the wiper arms is discontinued. Part # 61611376313, and #4 on the arm diagram.
Anyone have one or a pair?

Original cover SWF #61611372746 is discontinued but Bosch #61611376313 is still available (FCP Euro, example). Problem: upper/top shape of Bosch cover is different so no good fitment unless you remove a little of plastic inside to avoid the cover comes out of place.

I'll check more. getbmwparts claimed 313 was discontinued, and another place said "Sold Out". Bimmertips claimed to have them.

If anyone else has any after OP (hopefully) finds a pair, I could use a single cap.

Just to follow up:
I'm not sure who DJM PM'd, but I didn't get one (that's for his information).
I did order two from Bimmertips, part # ending in 313. They are glossy! Gonna need to get the arms painted.
As Aldo states, the shape is a little different, and really just a bevel around the top. The fitment on my car was fine, no issues. Perhaps Aldo has a larger nut? I have only put 30 miles on the car so far. I did have to use the wipers a bit this morning.
