BMW in cyberspace

SPARTANBURG: It's every couch potatoes' dream. Later this month, adventure seekers will have an opportunity to explore some of the world's great wonders through the window of a computer monitor with navigational assistance from BMW.

The BMW CyberDrive, in conjunction with Apple Computers, will provide a test drive through 21 special Internet destinations.

The interactive experiences will include a trip on the Trans- Siberian railroad, a balloon ride through the Napa Valley wine country in California and the opportunity to design a golf course.

CyberDrivers also have the opportunity to sample a lineup of BMW cars. People can register their interest through http://www.bmwusa.com
