Does the '01 X5 have X-drive? If not, how does the AWD work?

X drive came out in 2004 with the X5.

As DKL stated, you have a fixed power split.
DSC then brakes the wheels that are out of line, until they regain traction. I think though that if DSC brakes a wheel, doesn't it give the other wheel on the same axle more power? So if it brakes the right wheel, the left one gets more power? Maybe X5's don't have rear differentials... hmmm

Does the DSC system deliver 100% power to any single wheel in Xs without xDrive?

Only 4WD systems can do that. xDrive isn't as high-tech as you think I'm afraid. It can only transfer power between the front and rear axle. But not left to right wheel per axle. Audi's quattro does this however. BMW is still behind on this one. DSC deals with braking, so it wouldn't be the one sending power anyway. DSC can break each wheel at individual amounts to prevent and/or stop slippage.
