DCT Sport and Sport+ do NOT lock out top gear like all of BMW's automatic transmissions do. Presumably top gear is available in DCT due to faster shifts.

However, like the auto, DCT will hold low gear absurdly too long after a brief throttle blip. When it gets stuck like that you gotta manually upshift back out.
