Thanks in advance.
No, it isn't possible since you don't have a same-day transit flight. What the poster below is referring to is possible, but can only be done same-day. Without a same-day BP you will not be permitted through transit security, and hence your only option is to exit immigration. Your bags are irrelevant to the equation.

Honestly I think its a bit troublesome, which is why people don't do it often.
Indeed correct,
provided on the same day. In the specific case of the OP, not possible due to his/her lack of same-day boarding pass.
