I do. Usually only happens when its hot out. Ive just been living with it tbh, but it is bit annoying. Might try some WD-40 or something to see if that helps, sounds like its plastic rubbing on plastic with heat expansion though.

Heat is definitely a factor. On my last F30 it was so bad that the mirror housing would jump as it was folding. Dealer told me that there wasn't anything physically wrong with. Took it to another dealer and they replaced it under warranty.

I had this same problem this spring and the dealer took a look at it. In my case, hey found a lot of dirt and crud buildup so they just cleaned it out and lubed it up. Best of luck to ya
