Real Case: BMW 3 Series Rescued in Sector 6 – Broken Front Spring & Transport to Bragadiru
⚠️ The Situation: A Distress Call at 6:30 PM
The Dracul Tractări dispatch center received an urgent call. The driver of a BMW 3 Series (E90) was driving through Sector 6, on Drumul Taberei street, when he heard a loud metallic noise. The car dropped suddenly at the front, and every time he turned the steering wheel, a sharp screeching sound appeared.
The driver slowed down, pulled over to the right, and stopped safely. Fortunately, the incident occurred on a section with light traffic, and the quick response prevented a more serious accident.
Preliminary diagnosis: broken front suspension spring – a common but equally dangerous failure on older BMWs.
🔍 Why Do BMW Front Springs Break?
Although they look robust, the front suspension springs are subjected to extreme stress. And when they fail, the consequences can be costly.
Main causes:
- Corrosion and metal fatigue – rust weakens the spring's structure, especially in areas where salt is used during winter
- Impact with a pothole or curb – a strong shock can crack the spring, which then gives way completely later
- Natural wear – over 100,000 kilometers, springs lose their elasticity and can break at any time
Symptoms reported by the client:
- Metallic noise when driving over bumps
- Car visibly lowered on the front-left or front-right side
- Screeching when turning – the broken piece of the spring rubs against surrounding components
🚛 Our Mission: Fast and Safe Transport
The client requested the car to be transported to a specialized suspension service center located in Bragadiru (Ilfov county), approximately 10 kilometers away.
Why couldn't it be driven on its own wheels?
- The broken spring could have damaged the tire, brake hose, or ABS wiring
- Handling was severely compromised – any sharp turn could have led to loss of control
- Driving with a lowered suspension puts extra pressure on the shock absorber and control arms
The solution: intervention with a dedicated flatbed tow truck and professional securing for safe transport.
📍 The Route: Sector 6 → Bragadiru
The Dracul Tractări crew set off from the nearest base in the sector.
- Sector 6 (Drumul Taberei) – pick-up of the BMW from the side of the road
- Exit onto Centura Vest – the optimal route towards Bragadiru
- Bragadiru (Ilfov) – delivery to the partner service center
Total time from the call to delivery: 40 minutes.
🛠️ Step-by-Step Intervention
1. On-site inspection
The operator confirmed the diagnosis: the front spring had broken in the lower section, and the car was lowered by approximately 6 cm.
2. Loading onto the platform
A low-platform tow truck with long ramps was used to drive the vehicle up safely. The operator carefully protected the sills and front bumper.
3. Securing and fastening
The car was anchored with four professional straps over the wheels, eliminating any movement during transport.
4. Transport and delivery
The BMW arrived safely at the service center in Bragadiru, where a mechanic was already waiting to inspect the damage.

The client left a sincere review:
"I called Dracul Tractări at 6:30 PM, and by 6:45 PM the tow truck was already there. The guys were super professional, loaded the car quickly, and delivered it to Bragadiru without any issues. The spring was indeed broken – if I had driven a few more kilometers, I would have destroyed the wheel and brakes. I highly recommend them to all drivers in Bucharest!"
