Possible? Yes. Can you get your dealer to do it? Depends on your relationship with your dealer.

You can't just yank off your 35i tips and slap on the 50i. You'll need the 50i pipes.

There are two problems you will run into 1) the openings through the bumper on the 35i aren't large enough for the 50i pipes. You'll have to bore them out. 2) the 35i has a valve on one side of the car that keeps one side closed except during high pressure. Keeping both sides open will noticeably alter the sound of the i6 exhaust. Some people also complain of a loss of low end torque, but theoretically it shouldn't affect a FI engine... at least not to my understanding.
