I'd say Flasch wasn't bad at all...
I don't know the timeline of when models were green lit for production, but he has at the very least had an influence on the F87 CS, F90 CS, G82 CSL, G81 Touring and the new M2 under his reign. All exciting models. van Meel was said to be responsible for the AWD ZF8 development, which makes sense as he is an ex-Audi guy.
The fact the new cars are butt ugly are not entirely his decision, I would bet. The social media strategy, eh, maybe, but BMW AG's was also as bad. M GmbH is very much tied up in AG's corporate decisions - confirmed by Biermann who's openly spoken about leaving the brand because BMW would not let him use NA engines or DCTs.
