Any hassle on the M4 and it just makes getting to and from the airport a nightmare. Oh and there are roadworks on the airport approach at the moment.

As for the Heathrow Express, Why Paddington? It serves the lines out to the West - save your money (and time) and get the bus to Reading and pick your train up from there! They should have engineered it either to the city centre or Euston or Kings Cross for connections to the Midlands and North of England.
I recall spending an hour on the slip road between the M25 and the M4 because of the volume of traffic, so IMO, unless you're actually in London, Heathrow is a nightmare to get to.
