Yep, it's generally crappy on mine too. Cleaning fixed it. I guess that is why Mercedes covers their gaskets in "cloth." The 328i LCI I had before this X3 had its gaskets covered in a velvet like material, so no scratches showed. I think the flaws, etc. are inherent to the rubber itself and not necessarily due to the factory or build quality.
