I have the same issue but found that it was caused due to dust accumulating when closing the mirrors.. once the car is washed, the squeaking goes away...

There is a large spring in the mechanism that needs lubrication from time to time.

Same thing happening here with the F30, from time to time (on hot/sunny days). The car is going in for a service in two weeks so I'm going to mention it.
