As 4 X 950 KG is 3.8 tonnes well above the max weight a E70 laden can be. BMW are just being Uber safe on the back end as 106's can still carry 1.9 tonnes well in excess of the gross loading permisssable.
As for insurance, i dont think any insurance company would stand a chance of turning down a claim as the tyres were still caple of carrying the weight and had a wide margine over the gross permittible weight.

You left out the additional towing load in your calculation plus some additional safety buffer. If you never ever tow, then you're right, the 106's are probably sufficient.
