sorry for the long title, I have been searching and no where does it say conclusively. I personally don't want nor care for AWD however all the wagons are only offered in AWD so it looks like i have no choice. What i'm looking for is there a simple button or switch or knob that allows for the total disable of the xdrive system? I know in other AWD equipped vehicles RWD can be selected by the user.

I know there was a switch in technology in 2006 and the pre2006 use a slightly different xdrive system. So I guess my follow up question is do the pre2006 work any differently in regards to being able to switch the system into RWD only?
