According to my friend who bought his X3 around the same time as I, the operation of the tailgate is virtually silent except for a faint hiss of the hydraulics. Definitely not creaking like an old stiff door. It also shuts softly and not with a slam. There's also the rusty bolt on one of the arm/strut which I will raise with the service centre. Totally unacceptable! If not for the creaking sound, I would not have spotted it. In addition, the right wing mirror occasionally unfolds with a "cluck cluck" sound and so is the driver's window. Hmmm...BMW certainly has some issues with quality! It's only 1 year old and I parked indoors most of the time.
I have made an appointment to have the car check out next week. Will report back after.
