Someone running Windows should post one of the Michelin testing facility, more fun asphalt there than the Performance Center.

Is that were they have the M School? And what is a "Zentrum"? Is it like an oriental setting with an open roof showroom?

A small part of the first M Driving School is done at the Performance Center. The rest is done at the Michelin testing facility, which has a lot more space and more interesting stuff (road course replete w/ rumble strips, a wet course, a huge lot for autocross, etc.).
The advanced M Driving School is held at a track facility. Not sure which track they used this year, I think it was Lowe's Motor Speedway (Charlotte).
You get to drive at the Performance Center facility if you take PC delivery, or sign up for one of the BMW schools held there. Some classes hang around year-to-year (the car control clinics, New Driver's School, Women-Only Car Control Clinic, et. al.) while others come and go with models (X5 School, for example). Can always call 1-888-345-4BMW to find out what they're offering. They're all a lot of fun, and don't make a bad twosome vacation if your significant other enjoys driving.
