Driver Door Handle Creaks (Exterior)

Does the driver door handle on anyone else's G20 creak like a cheap Chinese toy when you pull it? Worse in hotter weather. It seems to be the inner piece that you actually put the force on. Being the first thing you touch when getting into your BMW I don't think it should sound like a Ford Fiesta. Has anyone had this issue corrected? I'm a little apprehensive because both the inner and outer portions of the door handle are painted parts and I don't want anyone messing with the paint on my new car. I also thought of masking it off and placing some drops of WD40 on the seam to lubricate where the plastic pieces are rubbing.

My car does it too. On all four doors. Haven't experimented with WD40 or silicone spray yet.
But I agree, it gives a bad first impression, especially since the rest of the car seems very well put together.
