Number 8 is the one I'm talking about, if I'm correct, that bolt is torqued to about 125ft lb (or 170nm), and I'm not sure If I should buy impact driver + sockets or if its possible to do it with breaker bar ( a lot cheaper).

Yes, you can break it free with a breaker bar. Well, unless you are especially wimpy or have some health issue

I loosened it with nothing more than a 1/2 ratchet.

If you can't apply 125lb on the end of a standard (~1ft) ratchet.....

...a breaker bar will certainly suffice.

Impact wrenches are very convenient for undoing stuff, but you shouldn't use them for doing it up again, so you'd need a breaker bar/torque wrench anyhow.

Do you not have a 1/2 inch torque wrench?

I just did the m3 front and rear control arm swap with hand tools. Leverage (breaker bar) or what I did was use the closed end of a wrench on the nut then use another open end wrench on the attached open end wrench for leverage. Old trick for more leverage.
