Most of the big premieres for the Los Angeles Auto Show have already happened, and one that has been quietly absent was the new BMW Z4. Now it seems that those who were waiting breathlessly for the new coupe/roadster from BMW will have to hold on until next year.

The BMW Z4 is the latest victim of the delay until the Detroit Show. But unlike the development slowdown that has delayed other cars until January, the Z4 just seems to be stuck in red tape. The guys over at BMW Blog seemed to discover the BMW is having an issue with the sDrive trademark name.
