Yes it is an E30 M3, no it doesn't have the S14 inline 4. It is 100% badass though.

Particularly when it makes the car really really fast.

Sacrilege, but only because they could have taken a boggo 318i and done the exact same thing (plus a couple of flared arches), and wound up with exactly the same thing.
That way, this kickass machine would exist, and so would another E30 M3.

Wrong. The M3 is quite a bit different from a 318i (especially in the rear) for reasons of aerodynamics and structural ridgidity and shit. First of all, the C-pillar is wider and less steeply raked than on a regular E30. Also the trunk lid is wider and higher than regular, and I've heard faking those attributes can be quite difficult.
For comparative reasons:

Oh interesting. I knew about the rear suspension being quite a bit different (still just a matter of buying the parts and modifying mounts to fit them to the 318i shell).
The c-pillar I didn't know about, and would be much trickier. I'd be willing to bet that's a structural rigidity thing, which a properly sorted modern cage setup should provide anyway. Could also be aero I suppose. Slipperier shape.
